Ingredients
- 1 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick, room temp
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate roughly chopped
- Finishing salt, or coarse sea salt for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer, or hand-held mixer, on medium speed, beat butter, sugar and brown sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add egg yolks, egg and vanilla and beat until mixture is pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. You may need to occasionally scrape down the sides of the batter.
- Slowly add the flour mixture until just blended.
- Fold in the chocolate with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Spoon the batter by heaping tablespoon onto 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper, keeping them separated by about 1 inch.
- Bake cookies, rotating the sheets halfway through, for about 12 minutes, or until just turning golden brown on the edges.
- Let cool slightly on sheets and then transfer to wire racks. Sprinkle with coarse salt, if desired. Enjoy!
