Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Paul has always raved about my chocolate chip cookies.  And then our friend Tiffany brought over a plate of chocolate chip cookies one Sunday evening and Paul betrayed me by declaring her cookies to be superior.  So naturally I had to ask her for her recipe and she kindly shared.  So these are Paul's favorite chocolate chip cookies.  They have greater proportions of brown sugar, a difference of an egg yolk instead of an entire egg, and more vanilla than the recipe I have always made and it gives them just the right texture of super soft inside with a slightly crispy exterior.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (or 1/2 semisweet, 1/2 milk chocolate)

DIRECTIONS

Mix butter and sugars until well blended.  Add egg, additional yolk, and vanilla and mix until light and creamy.  Add dry ingredients until just blended.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Drop by 1/4 cup at a time on cookie sheet.  Bake at 325 degrees for 14 minutes.
