BIG FAT CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
• Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• 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.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F; line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silpat.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
• In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream together the butter and the sugars on medium speed.
• Add the egg, followed by the applesauce and vanilla extract.
• Working by hand, stir in the flour mixture and the oats until just combined and no streaks of flour remain; stir in the chocolate chips.
• Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (approx 1 tbsp each) of the dough onto prepared baking sheets, flattening each cookie slightly (I forgot to do this).
• Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until cookies become light brown at the edges.
• Let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store in an airtight container so you don't eat them all in one sitting!
