Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

2 & 1/8 cups bleached all-purpose flour (about 10 1/2 ounces)

1/2 teaspoon table salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

12 tablespoons butter (1 1/2 sticks), melted and cooled (very important!)

1 cup brown sugar (light or dark), 7 ounces

1/2 cup granulated sugar (3 1/2 ounces)

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 - 2 cups chocolate chips or chunks (semi or bittersweet)

- - 1. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Adjust oven racks to upper- and lower-middle positions. Mix flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside.
    - 2. Mix butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Mix in egg, yolk, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients; mix until just combined. Stir in chips.
    - 3. Form into large, rough balls and place on greased or parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake, reversing cookie sheets’ positions halfway through baking, until cookies are light golden brown and outer edges start to harden yet centers are still soft and puffy, 15 to 18 minutes.
