- In a microwave safe glass bowl, melt 3 sticks of salted butter. You should have 1.5 cups of butter when it is all melted.
- Stir in 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of white sugar, by hand, until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Add in 1 egg and 1 egg yolk. Stir until completely mixed.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste, evenly mixing into the wet mixture.
- After all of the wet ingredients are hand mixed together, stir in 3 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda and a pinch of salt.
- Add 2 cups of high quality chocolate chips, reserving 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to chop and add to the top of each cookie when they come out of the oven.
- Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
- Scoop, using an ice cream scooper for ease, onto a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake on 350F for 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
- For a little razzle dazzle, sprinkle with cocoa, powdered sugar and drizzle chocolate on top.
- Let cool just enough so the cookie is warm and not hot (no need to burn the roof of your mouth).
