Ingredients
2.25 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup brown sugar, packed
0.5 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
0.5 teaspoon baking soda
0.5 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth.
Add the egg, extra yolk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until incorporated.
Combine the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until only a few streaks of flour remain.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are set but centers remain soft.
Notes
Ensure the butter is cooled before mixing to avoid melting the chocolate chips prematurely. Chilling the dough is essential for the best flavor and preventing the cookies from spreading too much.
