Combine the first 6 ingredients in a bowl and stir together. With a stand mixer, beat the butter on medium-low speed for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar and beat for another 30 seconds. Add the white sugar and beat for another 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the egg, yolk and vanilla and beat until combined. Slowly add the flour mixture a little at a time and mix just until combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix until evenly combined. Bake at 400. For smaller cookies, bake for 7-9 minutes.
