Description

Deliciously soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies with crispy edges, perfect for sharing or enjoying with milk.


Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon non-alcoholic vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and egg yolk one at a time, beating after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare baking sheets.
  8. Scoop dough onto baking sheets and bake for 9-12 minutes or until edges are golden.
  9. Optionally sprinkle with flaky sea salt, cool on racks, and serve.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months. Chilling the dough helps with texture.
