Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

My go-to recipe for chocolate chip cookies has been Alton Brown's Chewy Chocolate Chip cookie. But I've been coming across this recipe on Allrecipes for awhile now and I finally decided to give it a try. It is delicious! They are still chewy even the next day. The recipe doesn't say to refrigerate but I did because some of the reviews said they had better luck when they refrigerated the dough. I also used a mixture of milk chocolate chips and semi sweet chocolate chip cookies. These were delicious!


Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon.
4. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. (I actually used a medium ice cream scoop.) Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
5. Bake for 14 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
