Super-Sized Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, spray them with nonstick cooking spray, or line with a silicone baking mat.
2. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl; set aside.
3. Melt the butter and set aside to cool to room temperature.
4. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugars until thoroughly blended and light in color.
5. Beat in the yolks and vanilla until well-incorporated.
6. Add the dry ingredients, and beat at low speed just until combined.
7. Stir in the chocolate chips.
8. Cover, and chill dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
9. Roll a scant 1/4 cup of the dough into a ball. Hold the dough ball with the fingertips of both hands and pull into 2 equal halves. Rotate the halves 90 degrees and, with jagged surfaces facing up, join the halves together at their base, again forming a single ball, being careful not to smooth the dough’s uneven surface.
10. Place the formed dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, jagged surface up, spacing them 2 ½ -3 inches apart.
11. Bake 13-18 minutes, or until the cookies are light golden brown at the edges, but the centers are still soft and puffy.
12. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets.
