1 cup packed brown sugar
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until combined. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla; mix until smooth.
4. Combine & Add Chocolate Chips:
Stir in dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers still soft.

Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make Ahead: Dough can be chilled for up to 48 hours before baking for deeper flavor.
