These cookies are the pinnacle of perfection! If you want big, fat, chewy cookies like the kind you see at bakeries and specialty shops, these are the ones for you!

Recipe provided by:

Allrecipes

Ingredients

2 cups plain flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
170g unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups chocolate chips

Preparation method

1. Preheat oven to 165 degrees C. Grease baking trays or line with baking paper.
 
2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
 
3. In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg and egg yolk until light and creamy, then add 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 on to the baking trays. Cookies should be about 8cm apart.
 
4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool on trays for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

    I also only used 1 cup of choc chips but substituted the other cup of choc chips with chopped walnuts. A real hit with family & friends

    These were delicious! Sweeter than I'm used to but otherwise perfect1 Because there are only two of us and because we dont have an baking tray (so I had to use a caserol dish) I put the left over mix in the fridge and brought it out everytime we wanted more, that way we had fresh baked, warm, gooey cookies each time

    Review: Reggie70

    I used S.R. flour and they were super yummy, they were gone in no time at all, and i didn't use as much choc chips. Chewy but crispy on edges, very nice indeed. Hopefully they will last long enough for me to take a picture next time!!!
