Monday’s
are hard. Sometimes after a long hard Monday you just want a glass of wine and a big
warm chocolate chip cookie.
This
recipe is amazing; it makes 2 big Ooey Gooey chocolate chip cookies. Perfect
for you and a friend, or just eat them both yourself, don’t feel bad, Monday’s
are hard!
What
you need,
2
tbsp. butter, softened, I used salted
2
tbsp. firmly packed brown sugar
1
tbsp. granulated sugar
Pinch
of kosher salt, l left this out because I used salted butter
¼
tsp. vanilla extract
1
egg yolk, save the white part for something else, I hear they freeze well.
¼
tsp. baking soda
¼
cup all-purpose flour
3
heaping tbsp. chocolate chips
Preheat
your oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment
paper and set aside.
Stir
together the butter, sugars, salt (if you are using) and vanilla until it comes
together.
Add
the egg yolk and stir until mixture gets a little light and fluffy.
Stir
in baking soda and flour until combined. Finally stir in the chocolate chips.
Divide
the dough into 2 balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. The cookies will
spread out during cooking so put them about 6 inches apart.
Bake
for 8-10 minutes until they edges are nicely browned and the centre looks soft
but set.
Cool
on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Well
cool enough that you can stuff it in your face without burning your lips off!
So
about 10 minutes.
There
you have it. A perfect snack for a hard day!
These
cookies are perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.
I
fear I may be using this recipe all too often!
Happy
Monday!

Jen! What are you thinking? Who only wants two cookies! If I'm heating the oven and getting out the ingredients there's got to be more of a reward - there will be no restraint shown here! And hey, if you can't deal with 'left overs' just call me - I have some free time, I can come by.
