Ingredients

4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar (packed)
2 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
2 Large Egg Yolks
1 Tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
2/3 Cup AP Flour, spooned and leveled (not packed)
1/2 Tsp Baking Soda (heaping)
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/3 Cup Chopped Chocolate + more for topping Use what you like
Flaky Sea Salt (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large, microwaveable bowl, soften your butter in the microwave until almost melted. Using a rubber spatula, smash up the butter.
Add both sugars, stirring until creamy. Then add the yolks and vanilla and stir until combined.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. (Make sure that the flour is spooned and leveled, not packed). Stir everything together until combined and all of the flour is incorporated.
Add the chopped chocolate and stir. Use a tbsp scoop and scoop out a heaping tbsp of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. I made 6 jumbo cookies. You can make smaller ones, whatever your preference.
Top the dough balls with extra pieces of the chopped chocolate. Bake until the edges are slightly crisp and the middles are still soft. Will look a little underdone. Jumbo-sized cookies took about 13 minutes.
Let the cookies sit on the hot baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before removing. Top with flaky sea salt, if desired (optional). Enjoy!!

Notes

**Note: 6 Jumbo cookies too much? This recipe is incredibly easy to reduce. Simply halve the ingredients- 2 tbsp butter, 1/8 cup brown sugar, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 large egg yolk, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt, eyeball the chocolate. It’s also easy to double. Just sayin’. 😉
