Ingredients
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, combine melted butter with brown and white sugars until smooth.
Whisk in egg, extra yolk, and vanilla until creamy.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon balls and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place dough balls on the sheet, leaving space between them.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
Let cookies cool on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack.
Notes
Chill the dough to prevent excessive spreading.
Sprinkle cookies with flaky sea salt after baking for extra flavor.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze dough balls for future baking.
