In Search Of the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie.......

 
I have searched and searched for the ultimate chocolate chip cookie. I have to admit that I have about 10 or more recipes in my recipe binder. But you see there is a problem. I have had the best Chocolate chip cookie of my life, but there is a catch. The person who makes them refuses to give out the recipe. Don't you just hate that? I do, I don't understand it one bit. Ever since I bit into that cookie or I should say cookies. I have been searching to replicate them. No luck so far but I recently found one that comes close.

The Ingredients

3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
2 sticks unsalted butter softened
1 1/4 c. packed light brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 (12 oz.) bag semisweet chocolate chips (2 c.)

1. Adjust the oven racks to the upper- and lower-middle positions and heat the oven to 325 degrees. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl and set aside.

  

 
2. Beat the butter and sugars in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla until combined, about 30 seconds, scraping down the bowl and beaters as needed.

 

 

3. Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly mix in the flour mixture until combined, about 30 seconds. Mix in the chocolate chips until incorporated.

4. Using two spoons  scoop the dough into balls and lay on two baking sheets, spaced about 2 1/2 inches apart. Bake until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft and puffy, 15-20 minutes, rotating and switching the baking sheets halfway through baking.

5. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then serve warm or transfer to a piece of parchment paper and let cool completely.

In the recipe that I am trying to replicate, the cookies are gigantic mounds of cookie and chocolate. I can't seem to get close to the consistency but these are well worth trying. They made about

 

In the recipe that I am trying to replicate, the cookies are gigantic mounds of cookie and chocolate. I can't seem to get close to the consistency but these are well worth trying. They made about 50 nice sized cookies. I also added about a cup of white chocolate chips to part of the mix.

Looks tasty. I bet they were just as good as they look.

she really does need to give out that recipe for the monster cookies. I've never even come close

I saw this on Facebook and had to come here and check out your recipe. I swear every time I make a batch they come out differently too. I think I need to make these.

I love your recipe pics! You have a Paul Lyons bowl! (The red swirl one) He's a great artist! That is his signature glaze pattern technique. I have one too! Cool guy.
