Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt butter in large bowl in microwave (or over the stove) about 1 minute on high. Cool to lukewarm.
- Add brown sugar, sugar, vanilla, eggs and egg yolk whisking to blend.
- Add flour, salt and baking soda and powder in that order stirring with a wooden spoon.
- Dough will be stiff. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts if using, until evenly distributed.
- Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Using a 1/4 measuring cup, scoop out dough not quite filling the cup. Do not flatten.
- Place cookies at least 2 inches apart. This usually makes 6 cookies on a 11 x 17 cookie sheet.
