Menu

Ingredients

 * 8 ounces unsalted butter
 * 12 ounces bread flour
 * 1 teaspoon kosher salt
 * 1 teaspoon baking soda
 * 2 ounces granulated sugar
 * 8 ounces light brown sugar
 * 1 large egg
 * 1 large egg yolk
 * 2 tablespoons whole milk
 * 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
 * 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

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