The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever!

It's true. I made the best chocolate chip cookies on the planet. I got the recipe from Cooks Illustrated, but you have to pay to get the recipe so here it is for free. The secret is more brown sugar than white sugar, and using melted butter not creamed butter.

Here is what you will need:
1 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter (1 3/4 sticks)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon table salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Add flour and baking soda into small mixing bowl
Melt 10 tablespoons of butter in a 10 inch skillet over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling pan constantly until its dark golden brown.
pour butter into heatproof bowl and add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter.
Add both sugars, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir till mixed evenly
Add egg and egg yolk to mix. Whip for 30 seconds and then let sit for 3 minutes. Repeat 2 more times.
Add flour and chocolate chips. Cook for 10-15 minutes.
Seriously, you will never go back to your old CC cookies again. They are so chewy and moist. (yes I used to word moist even though its gross, its just so appropriate for these cookies) I hope you enjoy them with a cold glass of milk!
