Sloppy Chocolate Cookie Sundaes

.Sugar Overdose Wednesdays. 

I have been swamped with work this past week. Fine, I won't lie. I was swamped with the overwhelming feeling of guilt I get when I avoid my homework (but, I do it successfully and that's all that matters). As a result, I have been unable to decide on a new desert for this Wednesday. For those of you who do not know, every Wednesday is Modern Family night so I have some people come over to watch the show. The idea is to bake something delicious and preferably new every week. 

This week, as I was browsing through FoodGawker, I realized that if I wanted to do something fancy I woud have to go grocery shopping which I never made time for which led me to come up with a creative spin on the chocolate cookies everyone loves. Technically, you can I say that I cheated (my own system). BUT, there's no need to get technical because it's still dessert and it's still delicious. So I think I'm in the clear. Plus, don't blame me, blame the art of procrastination.

Cookie Recipe:

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

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
3. 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.
4. 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.
