Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Combine the egg, milk, and vanilla and bring to room temperature in another bowl.
- Cream the butter in the mixer's work bowl, starting on low speed to soften the butter. Add the sugars. Increase the speed, and cream the mixture until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed and add the egg mixture slowly. Increase the speed and mix until well combined.
- Slowly add the flour mixture, scraping the sides of the bowl until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, checking the cookies after 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet for more even browning.
- Remove the cookies from the pans immediately. Once cooled, store in an airtight container.
THE CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE
These soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies are just like the childhood classic, but far, far better.This is essentially a hack of the most famous chocolate chip cookie recipe in the world, which we all know from the back of the Nestle "morsel" bag. Extra chewiness is attained by substituting bread flour for regular all-purpose, replacing one egg white with milk, and changing the ratio of brown to white sugar. I don't recommend half or double batches. Instead, make a whole batch, bake what you want, portion, and freeze the rest.Both U.S. standards and metric measurements are listed, but for consistently delicious results, go metric. This recipe first appeared in Season 3 of Good Eats.

- Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda onto a paper plate.
- Pour the butter into the bowl of your stand mixer. Add the sugars and beat with the paddle attachment on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile in a separate bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg yolk, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Slow the mixer to "stir" and slowly work the egg mixture into the butter and sugar. Mix until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds.
- Using the paper plate as a slide, gradually integrate the dry ingredients, stopping a few times to scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Once the flour is worked in, add the chocolate chipsI'd suggest chopping your own dark chocolate chunks in the 68% cocoa range.. Chill the dough for 1 hour.
- Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-ounce portions and place on the half-sheet pans, 6 cookies per sheet.
- Bake two sheets at a time for 15 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking.
- Remove from the oven, slide the parchment with the cookies onto a cooling rack, and wait at least 5 minutes before devouring.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda onto a paper plate. Pour the butter into your stand mixer's work bowl. Add the sugar and brown sugar and beat with the paddle attachment on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the whole egg, the egg yolk, milk and vanilla extract in a measuring cup. Reduce the mixer speed and slowly add the egg mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds.
- Using the paper plate as a slide, gradually integrate the dry ingredients, stopping a couple of times to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Once the flour is worked in, drop the speed to "stir" and add the chocolate chips. Chill the dough for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and place racks in the top third and bottom third of the oven.
- Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-ounce portions onto parchment-lined half sheet pans, 6 cookies per sheet. Bake 2 sheets at a time for 15 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Remove from the oven, slide the parchment with the cookies onto a cooling rack and wait at least 5 minutes before devouring.
Tips:
- Use parchment paper to line your baking sheets. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cookies to spread properly.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
