The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie

I have finally found the perfect chocolate chip recipe.  It is a Bobby Flay recipe that I have tweaked to make it just right.

2cups +3tbs All-purpose flour
3/4 tsp kosher salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temp
1cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
5oz semi sweet chocolate chips
5oz milk chocolate chips

-Pre heat oven to 375 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (do not use wax paper as it can catch on fire) or silicon pads

-In a large bowl wisk together flour, salt and baking soda and set aside

-Cream the butter then add the sugars and continue mixing, scraping the side and bottom until light and fluffy

-Add the eggs one at a time then add the vanilla and beat until incorporated

-Add 1/2 of the flour and mix until just incorporated then add the rest and mix until just incorporated

-Remove bowl from mixer and fold in chocolate chips

-Spoon dough onto baking sheet leaving 2inches between drops

-Bake with rack in the middle of oven.  11minutes for soft gooey insides and 13 min for a fully cooked cookie

-let the cookies cool on the sheet for a minute or two then transfer to a cooling rack and let them cool. 


I personally thing these are best served warm but they are good when cold as well.
