If you like your chocolate chip cookies soft yet chewy than this recipe just may replace your old favorite. The recipe came from The Ladies Corner and they even let us in on the secret behind these cookies. It's something as simple as the amount of salt that is added, leaving out an egg white and a lower oven temperature.
CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and set this bowl aside.

1 cup packed brown sugar

In a larger bowl, blend the butter and sugars till nice and creamy.
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
Beat the vanilla and the eggs into the butter/sugar mixture.

Add the sifted, dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until blended.
