Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Melt the butter and let cool for a bit. You don’t want the butter to be too hot otherwise the eggs will scramble when added.

Step 3

Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.

Step 4

Combine both sugars to the bowl of a mixer followed by the melted butter and beat together on medium low until well blended.

Step 5

Beat in the vanilla extract followed by the egg and the egg yolk until light and creamy.

Step 6

Slowly add in the flour mixture and mix on low until just combined.

Step 7

Remove bowl from the mixer and fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 8

Using an ice cream scoop (or ¼ cup measuring cup for larger cookies), scoop out the dough onto the cookie sheets leaving two inches or so between each cookie.

Step 9

Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the edges are lightly brown and the tops look just set. Transfer to cookie sheets to wire racks to cool slightly.Serve warm with a cold glass of milk for the ultimate indulgence.
