This recipe I have courtesy of Michelle. So far, it is my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. I have yet to try Tiffany's though and Melanie is sending another I want to try. Enjoy!

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie
(No, I did not name it)

2 c. flour
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
¾ c. unsalted butter, melted
1 c. packed brown sugar
½ c. white sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 c. semisweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 325°. Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper. (Parchment paper makes a better cookie.)

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. Drop cookie dough ¼ cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.

4. 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.
