The Chewy - butter

Method

• Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat.
• Set aside to cool slightly.
• Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda onto a paper plate.
• Pour the butter into your stand mixer's work bowl.
• Add the sugar and brown sugar and beat with the paddle attachment on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the whole egg, the egg yolk, milk and vanilla extract in a measuring cup.
• Reduce the mixer speed and slowly add the egg mixture.
• Mix until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds.
• Using the paper plate as a slide, gradually integrate the dry ingredients, stopping a couple of times to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Once the flour is worked in, drop the speed to "stir" and add the chocolate chips.
• Chill the dough for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and place racks in the top third and bottom third of the oven.
• Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-ounce portions onto parchment-lined half sheet pans, 6 cookies per sheet.
• Bake 2 sheets at a time for 15 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through.
• Remove from the oven, slide the parchment with the cookies onto a cooling rack and wait at least 5 minutes before devouring.
