JULIA'S CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 325 and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. 2. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl, set aside. 3. Mix melted butter and sugars throughly. Beat in egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined. Add dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in chips to taste. 4. Roll scant 1/4 cup into ball (this is where I use the little ice cream scoop). Holding dough ball in fingertips of both hands, pull into two equal halves. Rotate halves 90 degrees, and with jagged surfaces facing up, join halves together at their base, again forming a single ball, being careful not to smooth dough's uneven surface. Place formed dough onto parchment lined cookie sheet, leaving 2.5 inches between balls. 5. Bake until cookies are very light golden brown and outer edges start to harden, but centers are still soft and puffy, 15 - 18 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets. When cooled, peel cookies from parchment.

GIANT CRINKLED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
You might think there's nothing new to learn about chocolate chip cookies, but this recipe by the baker and blogger Sarah Kieffer will prove you wonderfully wrong. The easy trick of banging the pan a few times during baking, causing the cookies to "fall," produces rippled edges that shatter in your mouth and a center that is soft and full of chocolate. Make sure to follow her instructions about freezing the dough and the size of the balls.

Steps:
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil, parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
- In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the butter on medium until creamy. Add the granulated and brown sugars and beat on medium until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and 2 tablespoons water, and mix on low to combine. Add the flour mixture, and mix on low until combined. Add the chocolate and mix on low into the batter. (At this point, the dough can be refrigerated for several hours or overnight.)
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Form the dough into 3 1/2-ounce (100-gram) balls (a heaping 1/3 cup each). Place 4 balls an equal distance apart on a prepared pan, and transfer to the freezer for 15 minutes before baking. After you put the first baking sheet in the oven, put the second one in the freezer.
- Place the chilled baking sheet in the oven and bake 10 minutes, until the cookies are puffed slightly in the center. Lift the baking sheet and let it drop down against the oven rack, so the edges of the cookies set and the inside falls back down. (This will feel wrong, but trust me.) Bang it down, if necessary, to make the center fall.
- After the cookies puff up again, 2 to 3 minutes later, repeat lifting and dropping the pan, every 3 minutes, to create ridges around the edge of the cookie. Bake 16 to 18 minutes total, until the cookies have spread out, and the edges are golden brown, but the centers are much lighter and not fully cooked.
- Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack; let cool before removing the cookies from the pan.
- Repeat with remaining cookies, using the first sheet pan for the third batch of cookies.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies. You can use semisweet, bittersweet, or dark chocolate chips, depending on your preference.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature: This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Let the cookies cool completely before eating them: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to set.
Conclusion:
Chocolate chip cookies are a classic dessert that everyone loves. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect chocolate chip cookies every time. So what are you waiting for? Preheat your oven and get baking!
