One of my favourite guru cooks is Nigella Lawson. Her cookbooks read like award winning novels. This is a pretty good chocolate chip cookie recipe....I still like my other recipe best.....but good to try. Doesn't make a great deal. You may want to double recipe.
INGREDIENTS: 1 1/2 cups butter, 5/8 cup brown suar, 1/3cup white sugar, 2 tsps vanilla, 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, 2 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 cup or 2 of chocolate chips.. ( I always throw in more)
Beat softened butter with the sugars and vanilla, throw in the 1 egg. Beat well.
Separate 2nd egg, and toss in egg yolk Fingers make a great sieve, by the way. Egg will feel goopy. Beat up well.
To this mix add flour, baking soda and chocolate chips. Beat till smooth and incorporated well.
Take large tablespoons and plop onto cookie sheet....lined with parchment or Silpat liners. Bake t 350 degrees about 10-11 minutes....
Add a small sprinkle of chocolate chips on top of cookie at the very last. Put back into oven and let melt slightly. Nice. NOTE: You can always freeze the discarded egg white from the single yolk ingredent to use at a later date. Egg whites can freeze for about 3 months. Must use within 24 hours of defrosting.
