Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup unsalted butter

1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar

1 tbs vanilla extract

1 egg

1 egg yolk

2 cups milk chocolate chip cookies

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie tray with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix together, the flour, salt and baking soda.

Using the paddle attachment of your stand mixer, beat the butter and both white and brown sugars until light and creamy. Add the egg, followed by the yolk and vanilla extract. Beat thoroughly. With the mixer speed on low, add the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Using an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, dollop cookie batter onto the parchment paper leaving ample space around each one. Bake in the oven for 13-15 minutes, rotating halfway through.  Be careful not to overbake, but make sure they are starting to firm up. Cool the cookies on the cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack.
