Ingredients
 
 

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. 
  • Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds to just barely melt it. It shouldn’t be hot – but it should be almost entirely liquid. Cool for a minute or two until room temperature.
    10 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
    2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well blended.
    ½ cup granulated sugar, ⅔ cup light brown sugar
  • Beat in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla until light and creamy.
    1 large egg, 1 large egg yolk, 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • Beat in the flour mixture on low until just combined.
  • Remove bowl from the mixer and fold in the chocolate chips.
    1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Use a 2oz/1/4 cup cream scoop to scoop out the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving 3" between each cookie.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the edges are lightly brown and the tops look just set. Transfer to cookie sheets to wire racks to cool slightly. Serve warm.
