Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

My kid will always eat a chocolate chip cookie with sprinkles. It's her go to. It is also what I make the most in my house. But honestly ... it is the best cookie.

Just simple ingredients.

This recipe is also a great made ahead recipe. Which with two kiddos I for sure have frozen cookies in my freezer.

Please excuse the Christmas theme. You gotta use what you got.

I also love using a cookie scoop. So much easier to portion out cookies.

This batter requires refrigeration. Do not skip this step. This prevents the cookies from spreading.

You can either bake after refrigerating or thrown them in a bag and freeze for later.

For these cookies I rolled them again in red sprinkles for extra color.  Or more like Baby Girl wanted to help make the cookies "prettier".

2. In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until no lumps remain. Wisk in the egg, and then the egg yolk until mixed. Wisk in the vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a rubber spatula. the dough will be very soft and thick. Fold in the chocolate chips and sprinkles. Scoop the dough out with a cookie scooper. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 1 or two hours. Then take out the dough and roll them into balls. Put them back into the refrigerator for about another 1-2 hours. Chilling is mandatory. This give the cookie dough it's flavor and prevents them from spreading. Now they are ready for the freezer. Put the cookie dough balls in a ziplock bag, label them with the date, bake time and oven time.
4. Take cookie dough out and put them in a Ziploc bag. Unbaked cookie dough balls freeze well for up to 3 months. Bake frozen cookie dough balls for 14 minutes at 325F, no need to thaw cookie dough balls.

Keep cookies my friends!
