Ingredients

2 stks unsalted butter

cup bread flour

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

cup sugar

cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 egg yolk

2 tablespoons milk

teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.

Pour the melted butter in the mixer's work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar. Cream the butter and sugars on medium speed. Add the egg, yolk, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Chill the dough, then using an ice cream scooper (#20 disher, to be exact), scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown, checking the cookies after 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet for even browning. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.

This recipe yields 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
