-Last weekend i decided to make this simple-but-delicious dessert to be as a picnic snack for my family. On Friday night , i measured out the butter and took out flour, chocolate chips, baking soda.... for a good start tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, after being left for a whole night in the fridge, the butter turned rock hard and i had to wait 30 minutes for its to softened. While the butter was in the process of softening, i prepared other things like measuring flour, sugar... taking out bowls,stand mixer, wooden spoon...It was the time that i realized the butter still remained as rock hard as it was and i was near to the deadline time so i determined to use the last method -melt the butter in the microwave. At first i did read the recipe and it said that the butter had to be melted but then it said cream the melted butter and sugar. I got confused at this step cause when the butter is melted, how can you suppose to cream it together with sugar and egg?But still i microwaved them in a little amount at a time and finally the butter was softened and nearly melted. Anyway, let's get on with the work.After about 20 minutes i finished making the batter and trued my 1st batch. The cookies came out good but because i didn't have time to let them cool down so they weren't crispy at all but they tasted great!!! Those cookies were the sweet snack for my family to Dam Sen Park!! Fun amusement park, good dessert!!!

Recipe adapted form at www.allrecipes.com. This recipe would yield about 18-20 cookies for me.
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
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
