RECIPE

Ingredients
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/whatever chips you please!

1. Preheat the oven to 325F/165C

2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.

4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Wow these are good. I finally understand why people like soft, chewy cookies.

Yeah, you can probably tell this was my first time making them. I felt I needed something diametrically opposite from the Triple C to balance out my baking spectrum.

I think this is the recipe I used...I don't even remember anymore, because I made it a month ago. I might have swapped more brown sugar for white to make it softer, but I don't even remember at this point.

The only thing I do remember, and that I should mention to first-time softcookie-bakers, is not to get too worried when the cookie centres feel almost dangerously soft and to leave the cookie in for longer. After leaving them out to cool for a bit, they will firm up to become the soft, chewy centres that make this cookie soon.

The best thing about these cookies? They taste just as good (possibly better) a few days old. I was seriously addicted to these cookies. Mmmm.

VERDICT: PASSED
