Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
In a larger bowl, cream the butter and both sugars together with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Beat in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt with a whisk. Add all the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat on low speed just until almost fully combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown around the edges and just underdone in the center.
Cool cookies on the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.

Feel free to add more chocolate chips! Or save a few to press into the tops of the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven.
