Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm
1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1. Adjust the oven racks to the upper- and lower-middle positions and heat the oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or spray them with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl; set aside.

3. Either by hand or with an electric mixer, mix the butter and sugars until thoroughly blended. Beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined. Add the dry ingredients and beat at low speed just until combined. Stir in the chips to taste.

4. Roll a scant 1/4 cup of the dough into a ball. Hold the dough ball with the fingertips of both hands and pull into 2 equal halves. Rotate the halves 90 degrees and, with jagged surfaces facing up, join the halves together at their base, again forming a single ball, being careful not to smooth the dough’s uneven surface. Place the formed dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, jagged surface up, spacing them 2 1/2 inches apart.

5. Bake until the cookies are light golden grown and the outer edges start to harden yet the centers are still soft and puffy, 15 to 18 minutes, rotating the baking sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through the baking time. Cool the cookies on the sheets. Remove the cooled cookies from the baking sheets with a side metal spatula.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• one 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 3 Tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 6 to 8 uncooked lasagne noodles

Instructions

1. Grease a 9×13-inch pan.
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, salt, and garlic over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink.
3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, basil, 2 Tablespoons chives, and water. Set aside.
4. In a small sauce pot, heat the chicken broth. Add the cream cheese and whisk to blend.
5. In the prepared pan, spread one half of the meat mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup cheese over the meat. Lay half of the uncooked noodles over the cheese.
6. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle 1 cup cheese over the cream cheese mixture. Lay the remaining uncooked noodles over the cheese.
7. Spoon the remaining meat sauce over the noodles. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Sprinkle the remaining 1 Tablespoon chives over the cheese.
8. Cover and chill in the refrigerator.
9. At this point the lasagne can be baked or frozen.
10. Bake the lasagne for 40 minutes at 400 °. Allow to set for 10 minutes before serving.
11. If freezing, thaw the lasagne completely in the refrigerator before preceding with the baking instructions.
