Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees (convection) or 350 degrees (conventional).

Step 2

Use a whisk to incorporate the flour, baking soda and salt together in a small bowl.

Step 3

In a large sauce pan melt the butter on the stove. Once melted, remove from heat and add the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the pan, using a mixer to combine. Add in vanilla extract. Beat until combined.

Step 4

Add the egg & egg yolk to the mixture and beat until light and creamy. Add flour, baking soda & salt mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Step 6

Roll the dough into 1 1/2" balls, place on a plate and refrigerate for a half hour. This step is key for texture. You can also freeze the cookie dough balls to bake later.

Step 7

Place cookie dough balls evenly spaced on a cookie sheet - 6 for one pan. Bake for approximately 15-17 minutes total -- rotating the cookie sheet halfway through the process. If using two pans, rotate these from top to bottom as well.
