Ingredients

2 sticks unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Hardware:

Ice cream scooper (#20 disher, to be exact)
Parchment paper
Baking sheets
Mixer

Directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

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 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.

These were the best cholate chip cookies that we have ever had! I put vanilla ice cream, nuts and chocolate fudge sauce on... them and my family thought it was heaven in a bowl! Thanks for such a great recipe, Alton. Read more

Stays chewy even after 5 days!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Wow! I like my cookies chewy, not crispy, so this is the perfect recipe for me. I made this for a high elevation camping... trip and it stayed nice and chewy all throughout our 4 day camping trip and after. I chilled the dough for 4 hours and also shortened the cooking time to 10 minutes as I used a small scooper for the dough. Great recipe! Read more

These Cookies are really, really, really good.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The best ever. I am almost 40 years old and have been searching for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe and this is it.... Thank you, Alton Brown. I also used generic butter and chips and Pillsbury flour. They came out soft but still cooked in the middle and had some height to them. They didn't flatten out like pancakes, which I hate. Truly the best cookie I have ever, ever made.Read more
