1cupunsalted butter softened to room temperature (1 cup is 2 sticks)
1 ½teaspoonspure vanilla extract
1large egg
2large egg yolks
2cupschocolate chips or chocolate chunks
Instructions
Begin by mixing the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda, corn starch, sugar, and brown sugar) together with a large spoon.
Next, add in the butter (softened to room temperature), egg, egg yolks, and vanilla extract in. Mix well with a hand mixer (or stand mixer). The dough may seem a little crumbly but this is normal.
Stir in the chocolate chips with a large spoon. Chill the dough for at least one hour, preferably two to three hours.
Form balls from about 2 ½ tablespoons of cookie dough and place on a parchment (not wax paper) lined or greased baking sheet. Leave room for the cookies to spread some.
Bake at 350 degrees for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are golden. Let the cookies rest on the sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring.
Notes
Be sure to chill your cookie dough. Cookie dough that hasn't been chilled can cause the cookies to be flat. I recommend chilling for at least one hour but if you can chill for two or three hours.
Mix the dry ingredients before the wet ingredients. This helps to ensure that no one gets a big bite of baking soda or salt.
Be sure to let the cookies rest on the baking sheet before transferring. This will help them finish baking.
