In a medium mixing bowl, add the butter and both sugars. Using a hand held mixer, beat the butter and sugars on high speed until light and fluffy.
3 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, ¼ cup light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Add in the egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Move the mix to one side of the bowl with the spoon.
1 large egg yolk, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Sprinkle the flour, baking soda, and salt over the top of the wet ingredients. Mix the cookie dough until thoroughly combined. Add in the chocolate chips and stir until just mixed in.
⅓ cup, plus 2 tablespoons bread flour, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, ⅛ teaspoon salt, ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a ball in your hand and place at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the cookie dough balls ever so slightly.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
