Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350F, and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine butter, sugars, and vanilla, with a hand mixer on medium/high speed until light and pale in color.
One at a time, slowly mix in the egg and yolk, until just combined.
Add the flour mixture and mix until well combined.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
Scoop the dough into “ping-pong” size balls, approximately 2 tbsp worth.
Roll the cookie dough balls out with your hand, until smooth.
Add extra chocolate chips to the top of the cookie dough balls.
Evenly space the cookie dough 2-3 inches apart onto the baking trays.
Bake for 11 minutes, until slightly golden on the edges.
Allow to cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes, then transferring to a wire rack.
Enjoy!!
