chocolate chip cookies

I've tried lots of different chocolate chip cookie recipes, and so far this is my favorite one. Simple. The key is not to overbake them!
Thanks Alton Brown.
Ingredients:
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups bread flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 T milk
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375.
1. Melt butter in microwave and pour into mixer bowl.
2. Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda into small bowl and set aside.
3. Add sugars to mixing bowl and cream together with the butter.
4. Add the egg, yolk, milk and vanilla. Mix well.
5. Slowly incorporate flour mixture.
6. Stir in chocolate chips. (And pecans, if using).

Chill the dough for 30 minutes (if you can). Scoop onto parchment lined baking sheets, and bake for 14 minutes. (If you don't have parchment, don't worry- and don't spray your pan.) Rotate baking sheet halfway through for even cooking. Cool on wire racks. Eat warm, cooled or from the freezer!
Yield: 2 1/2 dozen

ENJOY!
