Haha, I know we already have one choco chip cookie recipe on here, but nobody's life can be complete with only one! :) Anyways, these are the ones I have made several times, and yesterday I made them again to mail to Andrew! Mmmm. The technical name is, "Best Big Fat Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies."
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 Tbs vanilla
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter and sugars 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. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
Bake for 15-17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
FYI: I used the whole egg instead of just the second yolk and it was just hunky dory anyways. Also, actually baking them at 325 for 12ish minutes works great!! I don't know why I always decide to make it 350 and bake for a shorter time... :P Guess I'm in too much of a hurry to eat my cookies!
HAHA... don't you love how they specify to stir the chocolate chips in with a wooden spoon? I think I screwed up and used a rubber scraper... oops!!!

I used this recipe too for a "giant-pizza-cookie". Actually, I got 2 "pizzas" out of it.
This is my absolute favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. Unlike Abby, I follow the recipe EXACTLY, using the egg yolk. I live in fear that they might just be ordinary if I used the whole egg. : )
Our favorite way to use these is to divide the batch into 16 pieces (2 apiece, I freeze the extras for later or we eat them plain the next day), and make cookie sundaes with hot fudge sauce and vanilla ice cream piled on top.
These cookies come out perfectly chewy, and stay that way for a few days.

I just wanted to remind everyone that these make the BEST "cookie sundae" cookies ever! Guess what we're having tonight. : ) "Sunday Night Supper" season is back!!!
