Chocolate Chip Cookies

Kids rating: 5 stars

Here's my company-is-coming-over chocolate chip cookie.

1 cup of room-temperature unsalted butter (not too hard, not too soft!)
1 cup DARK brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 TB vanilla
2 1/2 cups plus 2 TB of flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp salt
2-3 cups chocolate chips (Guittard milk chocolate chips are the bees knees)

(If cooking immediately, preheat oven to 350. I highly recommend chilling your dough though!)  Cream together butter and the sugars.  Mix until everything is well-whipped. Add the egg and egg yolk to the wet ingredients in the mixer, mixing well in between.  Scrape down.  Add vanilla. Add your dry ingredients and mix until just barely combined, then chocolate chips.  Chill your dough (1 hour - 24 hours) OR freeze your dough into 1 1/2 - 2 TB balls on a cookie sheet.  When ready to cook, make sure your oven is properly pre-heated to 350°.  Bake cookies for 7-9 minutes if dough is at room temperature.  Bake cookies for 8-10minutes, if frozen.Don't over bake!
