Monster-Sized Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you're looking for a little treat to pass out at your child's class party, you'd better look elsewhere.  These cookies are enormous, thick, and taste like something you'd purchase from Mrs. Field's.  I personally LOVE these.

PREHEAT OVEN TO 325 degrees 

In a large mixing bowl combine the following ingredients:

2 Cups + 2 Tbs. Flour

1/2 tsp Soda

1/2 tsp Salt

set aside

In mixer combine:

1.5  Sticks of MELTED Butter

1 Cup Brown Sugar

1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar

Mix ingredients together forming a light brown cream

Then add:

1 Large Egg, and 1 Large Egg Yolk

2 tsp.  Vanilla

Mix well.

Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet, until dough is formed.  

Add 1-1.5 Cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, depending on how much chocolate you like.

Cover dough (in mixing bowl) and set in fridge for 15-20 minutes. This is a trick that will help your cookies from falling flat.  

Here's the new twist on spooning out your cookie dough:

Scoop out 1/4 cup of dough.  Roll into a ball, and then break the ball in half.  Turn each ball so that the broken edge of the dough faces up.  Shove the two balls back together (jagged edge facing up) and mold the bottoms together.  Do not smooth the top surface.  
This will help to give the cookies more girth.  Place on a greased cookie sheet making sure that each cookie has PLENTY of room to expand.  I can usually get about nine cookies on an average cookie sheet.  

Bake at 325 for 15-18 minutes or until tops are golden brown.  Remove from oven, but leave on cookie sheet to cool.
