Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. You can freeze the cookie dough in advance and keep it frozen until needed. You can bake the cookies straight from the freezer, just add a few extra minutes to the baking time (which is very convenient when unexpected guests arrive), or thaw the cookies for some time beforehand. The finished dessert can be served immediately.

Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together into a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, beat together melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk, and beat again. Mix in the sifted flour mixture until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips gently using a wooden spoon.

3. Bake large cookies for 15 to 17 minutes, smaller cookies for 10 to 12 minutes. Check for doneness before removing the cookies from the oven, as baking times may vary depending on the oven. The cookies should be lightly browned at the edges. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for several minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.
