Whats the best recipe for pain? Chocolate chip cookies!

Alan had double knee surgery done on Friday. Yes double knee! Poor guy. He had a lateral release done on one knee with a little bone shave since he hardly has cartilage in his knees. He had the same thing done on his other knee last February and it's been infected so the doctor cleaned that one up. He's been in a lot of pain and he has a very high pain tolerance. He stopped taking his pain killers because they make him really sick. So he's been laying around all weekend in a lot of pain. I took this picture to put it on my blog and he quickly covered his face. I guess he doesn't feel too pretty today. ;)
I decided to make him some cookies. A little comfort food ;) He loves these cookies. We love them so much I thought I'd posted them because I know you will too. Just don't eat too many. Haha!

BIG FAT CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES:

2 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. unsalted butter, melted
1 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 c. 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.
