- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
- Mix in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until smooth and glossy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- For extra-thick cookies, chill dough for 30–60 minutes.
- Scoop large dough balls (3 tbsp each) onto the baking sheet, leaving space to spread slightly.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until edges are set but the centers remain soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For even thicker cookies, shape dough balls tall instead of wide before baking. Add a mix of chocolate chunks and chips for a bakery-style look.
