The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 ¾ cups all purpose flour - I use King Arthur's unbleached all purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

14 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 ¾ sticks)

½ cup granulated sugar

¾ cups packed dark brown sugar (dark brown sugar adds more flavor) - Use fresh, moist brown sugar instead of hardened brown sugar, which will make the cookies dry. I like and use the brand, Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Dark Brown Sugar, as well as the Whole Food's organic brown sugar.

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 large egg - The recipe doesn't call for the eggs to be at room temp, but if I know I'm making them up ahead of time, I will take them out a bit beforehand.

1 large egg yolk

1 bag (10-ounces) of chocolate chips or chunks (preferably 60% cacao) - I use Ghirardelli 60% cacao chips
