2 cups flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

¾ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup soft brown sugar

½ cup white sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

1 egg

1 egg yolk

1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 325F. Grease the cookie sheet or line with baking paper. Cream butter and sugars. Beat in vanilla, egg and egg yolk until light and fluffy. Mix in the dry ingredients until just blended and then stir in the chocolate chips. Roll the dough into balls to what ever size you wish and place on the cookie sheets. Flatten with a floured fork. Make sure the cookies are spread well apart as they may spread a little through baking. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the edges are lightly coloured. Cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
