- 170 g (12 tbsp / 3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
- 190 g (1 cup, packed) light brown sugar
- 1 large egg (50 g), at room temperature

- 2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) light corn syrup (optional)
- 340 g (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional, for deeper chocolate flavor)
Instructions
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl for 20–30 seconds.
- Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Add in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and corn syrup. Mix until just combined.
- Incorporate the dry ingredients in two additions, mixing briefly. Fold in the chocolate.
- Portion the dough using a scoop, cover, and chill for 1 hour.

Notes
For chewier cookies, ensure you chill the dough for 1 hour. Baking too long will lead to drier cookies, so take them out when still glossy.
