Big Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

When it's super cold out - nothing really is as comforting than a warm cookie!

Big Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups flour
1/2 t. baking soda
Pinch salt
3/4 c. butter, melted
1 c. packed dark brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
1 T. vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 c. semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. 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 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 by BIG spoonfuls at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart; dough should make about 2 dozen big cookies.
Bake for 15 to 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.
