To Die For Chocolate Chip Cookies

The Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 Cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

3/4 cup butter, melted

1 Cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1 Tbsp Vanilla

1 egg

1 egg yolk

1 1/4 Cups Milk chocolate chips

*Combine flour, soda, and salt in a bowl. Melt butter in the microwave and then add sugars, vanilla, and eggs. Mix for 30-60 seconds. Scrape the sides and then begin slowly mixing and adding the dry ingredients. Mix until it is all combined. With a spoon or spatula mix in 3/4 cup chips. This is the secret... cover the dough and put the dough and resevered 1/2 cup chips in the refridgerator for 1 hour. No more, no less... one hour! When the hour is up heat oven to 350. Grease a baking sheet. Use a 3 Tbsp scoop, like the one Pampered Chef sells and make uniform balls of dough across your sheet. Take the reserved chips and press as many as you can into the top of your cookie ball. Bake for 15 minutes. (adapted from the back of the chocolate chip bag:)* One recipe makes 15-16 large cookies.
