Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg yolks and vanilla to the creamed mixture, mixing until well combined.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate pieces until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie onto the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-11 minutes until lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
  9. Immediately reshape the cookies into uniform rounds and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
