Chocolate Chip Cookies

   From AngelDeNoir-11-17-04

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (16 oz)

Preparation:

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2
large baking sheets with
parchment or wax paper. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt
in a small bowl.
Beat together butter and sugars in a large bowl with an electric
mixer at high speed until pale
and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Lightly beat 1 egg with a fork in a
small bowl and add 1 3/4
tablespoons of it plus 2 remaining whole eggs to butter mixture,
beating with mixer until
creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and mix
in flour mixture until
just blended, then stir in chips. Scoop 1/4 cup batter for each
cookie, arranging mounds 3 inches apart, on 2 baking sheets. Flatten
mounds into 3-inch rounds using moistened palm of your hand. Form
remaining cookies on additional sheets of parchment. Bake, 1 sheet at
a time, until golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack
to cool and continue making cookies in same manner using cooled
baking sheets.
