Is a life without cookie dough worth living?

I've decided it's not. Also? I will never make another chocolate chip cookie recipe again. These are to die for.

Carolynn's Chocolate Chip Cookies (via: whole else? Martha!)
2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup + 2 tablespoons firmly packed dark-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated/white sugar
1 large whole egg
1 large egg yolk
1/2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips (I use ghirardelli)
1 cup toasted walnuts (optional)
Directions:
1) In a large bowl, wish together flour, salt and baking soda. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat (Tip: to avoid the hassle of using the stove and a saucepan, I melt the butter in the microwave). Add both sugars to the melted butter and whisk until combined. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and let it cool to room temperature.
2) Whisk egg, egg yolk and vanilla into the butter mixture. Fold in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in chips and walnuts (if you are using nuts). Wrap dough in plastic; refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes).
3) Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Using 2 large spoons, place golf-ball size mounds of dough 3 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake until cookies are golden brown and the tops no longer look wet (12-14 minutes). Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack.
