Ingredients

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare Baking Sheets
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
- Cream together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla
- Add 1 large egg, 1 egg yolk, and 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract to the sugar-butter mixture.
- Mix on low speed until fully incorporated.

5. Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.

6. Fold in Chocolate Chips
- Using a spatula, gently fold in 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Portion the Dough
- Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to portion out dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.

9. Cool the Cookies
- Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
