Add 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch into a bowl and mix to combine.

In a separate bowl, cream together 2 sticks of room temperature unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup light brown sugar until well mixed.

Add 1 egg and 2 egg yolks to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.

Fold in chocolate chips to the dough according to your preference for amount.

Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour to help it firm up and achieve a chewy texture.

Scoop the dough into balls using a tablespoon or your hands, rolling them into round shapes.

Place the dough balls on a baking sheet, keeping them about 1 inch apart.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, aiming for a slightly underbaked finish for extra chewiness.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
