3. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the butter and sugar together for 2 minutes. Add in the egg, yolk, vanilla, salt and baking soda. Mix for an additional minute until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
4. Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just combined. Add in the chocolate chips and mix until evenly incorporated.
5. Scoop out a small portion of dough (a heaping tablespoon) and wrap the dough around a frozen cookie dough ball. Roll the dough into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
6. Bake the cookies for 7-8 minutes. In my oven 7 minutes was perfect. The bottoms should be golden brown. Allow the cookie to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
7. Keep the frozen cookie dough balls in the freezer while you are baking the batches.
