Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies!

I found the best cookie recipe the other day.  They came out really chewy and stayed that way even after they became room temperature. The recipe was for chocolate chip cookies but I mixed it up a bit ( because I didn't have enough choco-chips) and tried to make snickerdoodle cookies with the leftover dough.  I also made m&m ones . . . Mmmmmm&mmmmmmm! . .  While the cookies were still piping hot from the oven I sprinkled them with sugar and cinnamon.  They were so good!!... So good in fact that I ate 4 of them right then and there and decided my husband should get the last one. If you try it, don't put the cinnamon on before baking because it gets burned :(
Also, don't refrigerate the dough; bake it right after making it for the best cookies.  It should be really sticky and goo-ey.  So goo-ey it's hard to get off the spoon, or fingers!! If you do put it in the fridge, the cookies will turn out kinda hard... like store bought cookies.

Alexander loved them lots.  Here's some pics of the fabulous cookies ( minus the Snickerdoodle!) and my little cookie monster!

                Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

              Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
