Preheat the oven to 325°F.

Grease two cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper.

Sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, then set aside.

Melt 1 and 1/2 sticks of butter (about 3/4 of a cup).

Combine the melted butter with 1 cup of packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup of white sugar, and cream them together well.

Beat in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, 1 whole egg, and 1 egg yolk until the mixture is light and creamy.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and combine until just blended, being careful not to over mix.

Stir in 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips using a wooden spoon until evenly distributed.

Drop the dough by 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving 3 inches between each cookie as they will spread.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 15 to 17 minutes, until the edges turn light brown.

Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack with a spatula to finish cooling.
