Ingredients
2 1/4 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 cup (200 grams) packed brown sugar
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups (340 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Add the large egg, egg yolk, and pure vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
