Big Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe from: Mark Kilinski, Coral Springs, FL

These cookies are big and soft while warm but get firm when cooled. You can also bake them a minute longer if you want them crisper. Just a minute.

Yield: 18 Cookies

The twin secrets to these "mall-style" cookies are the melted butter and the extra egg yolk.

1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
2 cups plus 2 Tbsp. unsifted, bleached, all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg plus 1 yolk
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Place a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 325 F. Temperature is critical so use an oven thermometer to verify the correct oven temperature and adjust as necessary. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and set aside to cool until it’s lukewarm. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Do not sift. Place both sugars in a medium mixing bowl. Pour melted butter into sugar and mix until completely blended. Add egg, yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until blended. Add flour mixture and mix until blended. Add chocolate chips. Mix just until chips are evenly distributed.

Line 11x17-inch cookie sheets with parchment paper. Don’t use waxed paper. It’s too flammable.

Baking Instructions:
Using a scant 1/4 cup of cookie dough, roll a ball in the palms of your hands. Grab the ball with the fingertips of both hands and pull the dough into two pieces resembling half moons. Rotate the halves so the two jagged/flat sides point toward the ceiling and push the two halves together. You’ll now have a cookie with a jagged top surface (they look like little tree stumps). (I didn't do this for all of them and they were fine) Place the cookies (about 6 per sheet) onto the cookie sheets. Put cookies in oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Start checking for doneness after about 13 minutes and every two minutes thereafter. They are done when they are turning light golden brown and the edges are starting to get dry and firm while the centers are still soft. Cool cookies completely on their cookie sheets.

Serving Suggestions Serve warm or allow to cool completely. Store completely cooled cookies in airtight containers, separating layers of cookies with waxed paper. The dough will keep refrigerated for 2 days and frozen for about 30 days. Be sure to wrap it closely with plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container. Thaw frozen dough overnight in the refrigerator. Baked cookies will keep in the freezer for a few weeks. Wrap individually in plastic wrap. Thaw 15 minutes at room temperature for a quick cookie fix.

NOTES:
1) The dark brown sugar makes darker colored cookies. The light brown or golden brown sugar makes lighter colored cookies. I prefer the dark ones because of the little extra flavor the molasses adds.

2) For a nice variation, use light brown sugar instead of dark, substitute white chocolate chips, and add 2 or 3 tsp. grated orange peel (from one large orange), to the batter. These are called White Chip, Orange Dream Cookies.
