Step 1

Place your cold, cubed butter and both sugars into your stand mixer with the paddle attachment secured. Bring your stand mixer slowly from a low to high speed and allow it to combine the butter and sugars for about a minute. Pause your mixer and use a spatula to scrape down the sides of your butter and sugar mixture as well as your paddle attachment to ensure that no pockets of butter and sugar go unmixed, and turn your mixer back on for another two minutes until your butter and sugars are fully combined. Scrape down your mixer and paddle attachment again.

Step 2

Add in your egg yolk and vanilla extract to your butter and sugar. Slowly bring your stand mixer back to a high speed and allow it to combine your mixture for another minute. Pause your mixer and scrape down the sides of your bowl and paddle again. Let your mixer run for another minute until everything comes together into one smooth mixture.

Step 3

Next, add in your dry ingredients, flour, baking soda, and salt and start your mixer at a low speed mixing until your dry ingredients are about half incorporated.

Step 4

Pause your mixer. If you think you'll want to top your cookies with chocolate after you scoop your dough (I recommend this!), set a small portion of your chocolate aside. Add your chocolate chips and chopped semisweet chocolate into your dough and turn your mixer back on for about 30 seconds to a minute. Note: Your dough will be a bit more dry than our typical dough, but it will still come together. You may need to pause halfway through and scrape down to the bottom to make sure your dry ingredients get fully incorporated.

Step 5

Use your 1/3 cup or cookie scoop to portion out your dough and place onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. This should make 7 cookies in total. Alternatively, you can weigh your dough scoops - they should be about 100g per cookie. If you set aside some chocolate, top your dough balls with your reserved chocolate chips. Place the cookie sheet with your portioned dough into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.

Step 6

When you're ready, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Depending on the size of your cookie sheet, you may need to bake in two batches (only one sheet should go into the oven at a time). Bake your cookies for 12-14 minutes then allow to cool on your baking sheet for about 15 minutes (they will need some time to set once out of the oven) - and enjoy
