INSTRUCTIONS:

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
   2. Sift the dry ingredients; set aside.
   3. Combine brown sugar, white sugar, and butter in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until well combined; gradually add dry ingredients and stir until dough is just combined. Add in chocolate chips and (optional) chopped walnuts.
   4. Drop spoonfuls (I do spoonfuls just shy of 1/4 cup in size) of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the top of each dough ball with a pinch of salt.
   5. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool and enjoy!
