1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the (slightly cooled) melted butter and dark brown sugar. Stir until smooth. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 11 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
