Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 piece large egg yolk
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter until just melted (you can do this in the microwave or on a stovetop); let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted butter. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Mix in the vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 7
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 8
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft and doughy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Enjoy these cookies on their own or with a cold glass of milk!
