- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, sugars & vanilla until smooth. About 2 minutes. Add in the egg & egg yolk and mix. Stir in the flour, baking soda & salt and combine until absorbed. Fold in the chopped chocolate. Reserve some for topping.
- Using a cookie scoop, add the dough balls onto parchment lined sheet pans and chill overnight. Or at least for 4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350° Bake the cookies 2-3 inches apart for 10- 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the tray for another 10 minutes. Top with flaky salt. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- The "spooned & leveled" method is the best way to ensure you don't use too much flour in your cookie dough bater. Just simply spoon the flour into your measuring cup until full, and level it off with the back end of a knife.
