Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter melted
  • 1 cup Packed Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg at room temperature
  • 1 Large Egg Yolk at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Equipment

  • 2 Baking Sheets
  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Whisk
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. Add the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth and glossy.
  3. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of chilled dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best flavor, chill the dough for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the flour to hydrate fully and deepens the caramel notes.
Feel free to use a mix of chocolate chips and chunks for varied texture.
