america's test kitchen ultimate chocolate chip cookies ---------------------------------------
preheat oven to 375
combine 1 3/4 c. flour with 1/2 t. baking soda
in a saute pan melt 10 T. butter (unsalted) stir for 3-4 minutes until the butter is light brown- not burned. then, stir in an additional 4 T. to the hot butter.
cream together: butter (let it cool for a bit so it doesn't scramble the eggs)
1/2 c. white sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 t. salt
2 t. vanilla
1 egg
1 egg yolk then, combine with flour mixture.
lastly, stir in 1 1/4 c. chocolate chips (we prefer milk chocolate in this house)
line cookie sheet with parchment paper bake cookies 10-14 minutes
[the steps in the original recipe are a bit more complicated than this... i'm just kind of a lazy baker, but- it worked- and this is not turning into a cooking blog, i promise. though i love a good cooking blog]

i ended up basically making this exact cookie last night, except i can't stick to recipes to save my life, so we ended up with all kinds of crazy stuff in them. i think the thing that ends up making the real difference is 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, rather than 2 eggs. also, i didn't check, but is this the browned butter recipe? that makes a lot of sense to me in adding to deliciousness. (i used to only do semi-sweet chocolate chips, but now i have fully converted to milk chocolate. what was i thinking??)
Best. Night. Of. My. Life.
Not really. But close.
yes Errin it's the brown butter... i can't believe what a difference it makes. so nutty tasting!
and yes.. milk is the way to go!
can't wait to make the fabulous cookies! they sound so yummmmmy! I like the idea of a bake off between me and me. I'd win for sure! It's no fun to lose. loved your fun descriptive day, you really outdid yourself!
I made these two weeks ago. I downed them.
