2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
3. Mix in the vanilla extract and egg yolk until well combined.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
7. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
