Chocolate Chip Cafe Cookies (These are like the big, fat, chewy cookies that you find in cafes – only better!)
Makes 18 big cookies
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Sift flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
Cream together melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended.

Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon.
Drop the cookies 1/4 cup at a time onto baking sheet. Cookies should be approximately three inches apart.
