My Life Is a (little bit more) Complete

After many years of putting a little bit of effort into finding the perfect cookie recipe I have finally found it. I discovered all this time that I had been looking for the wrong thing. I mistakenly would tell google that I wanted "soft" cookies when in fact I wanted "chewy" cookies. If anyone knows me very well they would know I am somewhat of a food purist. I don't like when my pizza has anything exotic on it, I am happy with just plain old pepperoni. This is the same with my cookies.
Christmas time brings wonderful foods and feelings but it also comes with some interesting cookies that people make so that it makes the holiday seem extra special. A note to coconut, apricot, and pumpkin...you can just stay out of my cookies! I don't need these thrills and flashiness, I just want my chocolate chip. So without further ado here is the most wonderful chocolate chip cookie recipe ever in the world (slightly modified by me). It looks so simple but just give them a try...

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt, set aside.
2. Cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop cookie dough 1 heaping tablespoon at a time onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake for approximately 10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet immediately to cool.
