Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookies

The two 11 year old nieces have loved helping me cook since I've been watching them. We made these bakery chocolate chip cookies all the kids loved them because they are huge.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Big, Fat, Chewy Bakery Cookies
from allrecipes.com



3/4 c. butter, softened
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 T vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 c. flour
2 c. chocolate chips

Preheat to 325 degrees.

Cream butter and sugars. Add egg/yolk and vanilla until light and creamy. Add dry ingredients until dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop cookie dough in 1/4 c. globs on greased cookie sheets, at least 3 inches apart.

Bake 15-17 minutes, until edges are lightly toasted. Cook on sheets a few minutes before transferring to wire rack.

Makes 12 cookies.

Because these are huge, 1/4 c. of dough per cookie, you bake it longer at a lower temperature to cook them through. You could probably make 24 cookies and adjust cooking time and temperature. You could also use your favorite cookie dough to make these huge monsters.
