- Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large heat-safe bowl, microwave the butter until it melts. Vigorously stir the peanut butter into the hot butter until they combine well. Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until they combine well. Add the eggs and yolk, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Add the vanilla.
- Gradually stir in the flour mixture until it is just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- If the dough seems very loose and slightly crumbly, you can add 2 tablespoons of milk. If time allows, cover the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours but no more than 72 hours. Let the dough sit at room temperature just until it is soft enough to scoop.
- Divide the dough into 3-tablespoon sized balls using a large spring-loaded cookie scoop and drop onto prepared baking sheets. Flatten the dough slightly into disc shapes with your palms. Dot each disc with a few extra chocolate chips.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before removing them to wire racks to cool completely.
