Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed for two minutes until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract for another 30 seconds.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients on low speed until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula until the dough is thick and well mixed.
Scale the dough into 5.5 to 5.7 oz balls, shaping them slightly taller than wide.
Chop the chocolate bar into small pieces and press some onto the dough balls along with a few extra chocolate chips.
Place two cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes, pulling them at 15 minutes for a soft center.
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and let cool completely before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality chocolate chips and chocolate bars.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting for smoother mixing.
Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
