½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
3 egg yolks, from large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1½ cups mini chocolate chips
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Egg Yolks and Vanilla: Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Shape the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or teaspoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
