Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

You can tell I'm dieting, because this is the second cookie recipe I've posted in a row. These were gone very quick, and let me tell you, they were DELICIOUS.

-----------------------------------------
2 C plus 2 T flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
12 T butter (1 1/2 sticks) melted and cooled until warm
1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1/2 C white sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
2 t vanilla extract
1 to 1 1/2 C semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
-----------------------------------------

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside.

Either by hand or with electric mixer, mix butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Mix in egg, yolk, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients; mix until just combined. Stir in chips.

Place dough on cookie sheet in the size you want. Bake until cookies are set around outer edges start to harden yet centers are still soft and puffy, 10-13 minutes.  Make sure you don't over do it. They should look not quite done when you pull them out, because they'll bake a little more and set up while they're cooling on the cookie sheet. Serve or store in airtight container. Makes 40-50 cookies.
