1egg plus 1 egg yolkroom temperature
2 ¼cupsall-purpose flour
1teaspoonbaking soda
1teaspoonsalt
1 ½cupssemi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the brown sugar and beat until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and yolk until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. The centers should still look slightly soft. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
