Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Place oven racks in the upper and lower 1/3’s of the oven.
  2. Preheat oven to 325
  3. put parchment paper on cookie sheets (this keeps the cookies from sticking)
  4. Mix butter and sugars with with a mixer until blended and smooth, add egg, yolk & vanilla.
  5. Mix until incorporated.
  6. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  7. Stir in chips and optional nuts.
  8. Divide into 18 equal balls, a 2’ cookie scoop works just about perfectly, about 60 gms each.
  9. EVENLY space 9 on each cookie sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-18 minutes, rotating front to back and top to bottom after 8 minutes. (I typically go for 12 minutes, 8 minutes on the top rack, then rotate and move down to the bottom rack for 4)
  11. Cool on sheets to maintain chewy texture.
