Can I make chocolate chip cookies without brown sugar?

Yes! The cookies taste just as good. Brown sugar keeps the cookies thick, adds moister and chewiness to the cookie. Granulated sugar gives the cookies it's crispiness. This recipe is best of both. Adding the additional egg yolk gives the cookie a chewier texture with crisp edges.

Can I freeze the cookies?

You can freeze the cookies before or after baking. If freezing before baking: shape the cookie dough into balls, place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until firm. Then transfer to a freezer bag. Freeze until ready to use. To bake: Bake as usual, adding a few more minutes to the baking time. If freezing after baking: Once the cookies are baked, cool completely. Then transfer to a freezer bag.

Do I need to chill the cookie dough?

Chilling the dough is not a requirement for this recipe. However, you can still chill the dough if you prefer thicker cookies.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a bowl whisk flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Beat butter and granulated sugar until combined. About 2 minutes.
Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract. Beat until fluffy. About 3 minutes.
Add flour mixture and beat until just combined.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop scoops of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches part. Add additional chocolate chips. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until slightly golden brown around edges.

Notes

Measure flour correctly. Scoop the flour out using a spoon, add to measuring cup then level the flour out with a knife. This will ensure that the flour isn’t packed in the measuring cup. If the flour is packed, it can result in more flour than needed; which can lead to drier cookies.
Add more chocolate chips on top! Once the cookie dough is on the baking sheet, add more chocolate chips. This will give you those yummy pools of chocolate.
Use room temperature butter. This will help the butter beat smoothly. If you forgot to take out the butter you can: Cut the butter in cubes. Place in microwave, then microwave in 10 second intervals or until just soft. Be careful not to melt the butter!
Use any kind of chocolate. I like using semi sweet chocolate chips. But you can use any flavor of chocolate chips. Chocolate chunks will also work perfectly.
Do not over bake the cookies. Check the cookies after 10 minutes. They need to be just slightly golden brown around the edges.
