Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar (I substituted Splenda)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 325. 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, brown sugar, and white sugar (Splenda) 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. Yields ~ 18 cookies.

great cookies! soft and chewy!
They were definitely "big," "fat," and "chewy." Probably my new go to chocolate chip cookie recipe... Made two batches, to bring to work. Only differences: I use salted butter so I omitted the salt, and I baked them for 20 mins each. 15-17 didn't seem to cook them all the way.. I like them at least cooked. Oh and they didn't look like the picture, but I also didn't use splenda.. Great recipe tho :)
Hi, I thought these were just so-so. I think I'm done trying random cookie recipes from the internet. They never turn out as well as the classics, like the Joy of Cooking one mentioned in the post, which I much prefer. Maybe the problem here was melting the butter -- created an overly even consistency that reminded me of a packaged cookie from a grocery store.
These are monster cookies, and they're amazing. These'll be my go-to now.
