Melt 1 cup of butter.

In a bowl, stir together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 egg, and 1 egg yolk.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and the melted butter to the sugar and egg mixture.

Stir in instant espresso powder (optional).

Mix everything together until combined; the dough may look a little dry but will have enough moisture.

Stir in a generous amount of chocolate chips.

Hand-roll the cookie dough into balls.

Sneak in some extra chocolate chips on top before baking.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Bake the cookies until golden brown around the edges.

Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
