• 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350 degrees and have your cookie sheet ready with parchment paper.
• 2 important note: to get the best cookie, you must bake one batch at a time on the middle rack of the oven.
• 3 1.in a small skillet/pan, brown 3 tablespoons of the butter until golden brown. this takes about 3 minutes or so. you will smell the nutty aroma. mmmmm, it's wonderful! when done, pour into a large mixing bowl; scrape everything out from that pan … you want all of that nutty flavor. whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted.
• 4 2.whisk the sugar and vanilla into the butter until well mixed. whisk in the egg . make sure it is nice and smooth. let the batter stand about 5 minutes and whisk again for 20- 30 seconds.
• 5 3.change to a rubber spatula and mix in the flours, baking soda and salt. now stir in the chips. let batter sit another 5 minutes.
• 6 4.stir batter once or twice. batter will be thick. take 2 teaspoons of batter, roll into balls and lay them onto parchment paper. gently press each cookie with the bottom of a glass or with your palm to flatten them a little.
• 7 you will have 12 cookies on the cookie sheet. if you have a 2 teaspoon cookie scoop that's great! it makes perfect scoops every time and is what i use to control cookie size. if you go to my favorite things i will tell you which one i like and where to purchase one (coming soon).
• 8 5.bake for about 9 minutes or until cookies are a very light brown and a little puffy. turn the pan around half way through baking time.
• 9 6.let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes (if you can wait that long). bake your next sheet of 12 cookies.
