Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
• 12 teaspoon baking soda
• 14 teaspoon salt
• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm
• 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
• 1 (10 ounce) packagejello instant vanilla pudding
• 1 large egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 12 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Heat the oven to 325 degrees.
2. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl; set aside.
4. Either by hand or with an electric mixer, mix the butter, sugar, and dry pudding mix until thoroughly blended.
5. Beat in the egg, yolk, and vanilla until combined.
6. Add the dry ingredients and beat at low speed just until combined.
7. Stir in the chips to taste.
8. Roll a scant 1/4 cup of the dough into a ball.
9. Hold the dough ball with the fingertips of both hands and pull into 2 equal halves.
10. 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 doughs uneven surface.
11. Place the formed dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, jagged surface up, spacing them 2 1/2 inches apart.
12. Bake until the cookies are very lightly golden brown and the outer edges start to set, yet the centers are still soft and puffy, 15 to 18 minutes.
13. Cool the cookies on the sheets.
14. Remove the cooled cookies from the baking sheets with a side metal spatula.
