Jacey's PERFECTLY Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

After years and I mean years of making chocolate chip cookies (baking since I was 13) I have finally found the perfect recipe for my taste buds!! Of course I'm not that picky.
I don't have any pics but next time I make these I will take some...

Jacey's PERFECTLY Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie
2 sticks butter
2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup sugar1
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 Tbs milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla ( I use Mexican vanilla from Mexico)
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375.Melt the butter in microwave. While that's melting take your flour, salt, and baking soda and put in a large bowl. Mix with a whisk until combined( Martha Stewart taught me thats how she sifts). Set aside
Pour melted butter in your kitchen aide (unless you have a hand mixer, if that's the case just put in a bowl). Add your two sugars and cream on medium speed until thickened and looks like peanut butter.Add the egg, yolk and 2 Tbs milk and vanilla and mix until well combined.
Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until combined. Stir in your chocolate chips.

Chill for one hour.

Then use a tablespoon ( I use the one that you actually measure with) and place on greased cookie sheet or cookie sheet lined with parchment. I use my silpat.Set your timer for 7 mins. When that timer goes off, rotate cookies and bake for another 6.5 minutes. This of course all depends on your oven. You want the edges to be brown and the tops to still be light brown. Cool on wire rack.

Makes about 35-40 rounded tablespoon sized cookies.

The tips that I have learned is to make sure all your ingredients are at room temp. Don't over mix. Stir in your chips or chunks. Chill your dough. Take cookies out BEFORE they get too brown. I always take them out when I think they might be a tad bit undercooked because I allow for carry over cooking and when they cool they settle.
