Ingredients

  

• 2 ½ cups flour
• ½ tsp. kosher salt
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• 1 ½ sticks soft butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• ½ cup regular sugar
• 1 T. vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 cup NESTLE semisweet chips plus 1/2 cup bittersweet Ghiradhelli chips and 1/2c Ghirardelli Milk chocolate chips.

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment.
• Beat butter and both sugars until well blended. Add in vanilla, egg and yolk until light and creamy. Add in flour, salt and baking soda just until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips by hand. Drop 4-5 cookies by 1 3/4 ounce mounds onto parchment. Place in oven and IMMEDIATELY lower temp to 375. Bake 9 minutes or until tops golden. Let cool and then chop into bite size pieces. Fold into the rest of your dough gently and chill dough 30 minutes.
• When ready to bake, return oven temp to 425. Measure our 1 3/4 ounces of dough per cookie again. When you place the cookie sheet in the oven, immediately lower the temp to 375. For each new batch you will preheat oven to 425 and lower to 375 when the cookies go in!. This helps produce nice, thick cookies!
