About

This recipe was borrowed from Alton Brown of Food Network. And then slightly modified. While I love my Grandma's Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, this is the one I now use.

Ingredients

• 2 Sticks Unsalted Butter
• 2 1/4 Cups Bread Flour
• 1 Teaspoon Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/4 Cup Sugar
• 1 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1 Egg Yolk
• 2 Tablespoons Milk
• 1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 2 Cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips

Special Hardware

• #20 Disher / Ice Cream Scoop
• Parchment Paper or a Silpat

Oven Temperature

375°F

Steps

• Melt the butter either in a heavy-bottom saucepan over low heat, or very carefully in the microwave.
• Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda together. Set this aside.
• Pour the butter, sugar, and brown sugar into the mixer's work bowl.
• Cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed.
• Add egg, egg yolk, milk, and vanilla extract to the mixer's work bowl and continue mixing until well combined.
• Slowly incorporate the flour mixture into the liquid ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Stir the chocolate chips into the mix.
• Chill the dough in the fridge for a while to firm it up.
• Scoop the dough on to parchment or Silpat-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet.
• Bake the cookies for 14 minutes or until golden brown. It is recommended to check the cookies occasionally and rotate the baking sheet for even browning.
• After baking, cool the cookies completely, then store them in an air-tight container.

Special for Steve's Kitchen
