Simple Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

2 cups Baker's Flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter (unsalted, melted)
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 T vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F and line cookies sheets with parchment paper.
2. Sift flour, baking soda, and salt and put it aside. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Make sure it is well mixed.
3. Add in vanilla extra, egg and egg yolk and beat until creamy. Then add the remaining dry ingredients you set aside earlier until blended.
4. Mix in the chocolate chips by hand with a wooden spoon.
5. Place on cookie sheet with a few inches between cookies. The size can vary from a large dollop to ¼ of a cup. Bake for 15-18 minutes.
6. Let cool on a baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

*Optional: Freeze the dough. Not only can the dough be pre-made, but if you freeze the dough after being placed on cookie sheets, the cookies will bake with crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside. My personal favorite.
