My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie

These are by far my favorite chocolate chip cookies. I think the combination of melted butter, brown sugar and that extra egg yolk make it over the top sinful delicious. I adapted this from a recipe I found while searching for snacks to make for Trouble's soccer team. The kids loved the cookies so much they forgot all about losing the game!

What you need:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1  1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
What you do:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a bowl, blend butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well mixed.


Beat in vanilla, egg and egg yolk until light.


Fold in the sifted ingredients until just blended.


Fold in chocolate chips.

Drop cookie dough 1/8 to 1/4 cup at a time onto greased or parchment paper covered cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to racks or paper towels to cool completely.
Men will adore you. Women will ask for the recipe and children will wish you were their Mommy if you make these... I promise!
