Good n' Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

It's a big day for the Cardboard Club, this is our first sweet tooth feature. What can I say? I was in the mood for some straight-up good ol' fashion chocolate cookies over the weekend. So I found a recipe on another one of my iPhone apps - big oven. It's perfect for when you know exactly what you're looking for, because you have to find recipes using a search field. There are tons of recipes, the but the reviews make it easier to figure out which one to use. So without further ado, here is the recipe I chose for chocolate chip cookies.

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line cookies sheets with parchment paper.

Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown and white sugars until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Chill the dough, then drop 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.

Bake 15 to 17 (I had to bake more like 20) minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly browned. Check the cookies afer 7 or 8 minutes and rotate the baking sheet for even browning. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completley. Store in an airtight container. And as always, enjoy.
