This is by far THE BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever used.  My grandkids can attest to that!  Cook’s Illustrated Chocolate Chip Cookies.  1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (8 3/4 ounces), 1/2 tsp baking soda, 14 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 3/4 sticks), 1/2 cup granulated sugar (3 1/2 ounces), 3/4 cups packed brown sugar (5 1/4 ounces), 1 tsp table salt, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 large egg, 1 large egg yolk, 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips or chunks.  Heat 10 tablespoons butter in 10 inch skillet over medium high heat, about 2 minutes. Whisk flour and baking soda in medium bowl and set aside.  Continue cooking butter, swirling pan constantly until dark golden brown and has a nutty aroma - 1-3 minutes.  Remove skillet from heat, transfer browned butter to large heatproof bowl.  Stir in remaining 4 tbsp butter into hot butter until completely melted.  Add both sugars, salt, and vanilla to bowl with butter and whisk until fluffy.  Add egg and yolk and whisk until mixture is smooth with no sugar lumps remaining, about 30 seconds.  Let mixture stand 3 minutes, then whisk for 30 seconds.  Repeat process of resting and whisking 2 more times until mixture is thick, smoothy and shiny.  Stir in flour mixture until just combined, about one minute.  Stir in chocolate chips and nuts (if using), giving dough a final stir to ensure no flour pockets remain.  Divide dough into 16 portions, each about 3 tablespoons.  Arrange 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.  8 dough balls per sheet.  Bake at 375 degrees one tray at a time until cookies are golden brown and puffy and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft - about 10-14 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. @cooksillustrated #chocolatechipcookies #cookies #superbowlcookies
