Alton Brown's Chewy Cookies

Description: This is Alton Brown's recipe for Chewy Cookies. I haven't tried it yet. I thought I'd add it here so I could have it in my cookbook.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 1/4 cups bread flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

1. Heat oven to 375°F.
2. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottom medium saucepan over low heat.
3. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.
4. Pour the melted butter in the mixer's work bowl.
5. Add the sugar and brown sugar.
6. Cream the butter and sugars on medium speed.
7. Add the egg, yolk, 2 tablespoons milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
8. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until thoroughly combined.
9. Stir in the chocolate chips.
10. Chill the dough, then scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet.
11. Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown, checking the cookies after 5 minutes.
12. Rotate the baking sheet for even browning.
13. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
