Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium-sized bowl, add melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until combined. Add in the egg yolk and vanilla. Whisk until combined.
In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and whisk them together. Spoon the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold everything together with a spatula.
Once combined, fold in the chocolate chips until they are mixed throughout the batter.
Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough onto your baking sheet. Placing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the hot baking sheet until they come to room temperature. Enjoy!
Notes
I love to sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top of the cookies straight from the oven.
I use a large cookie scoop for this recipe. If you want to use a smaller cookie scoop you can. Just adjust your baking times.
