Preheat oven to 165°C (325°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the cookie dough:
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In another large bowl, beat the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract, eggs, and egg yolks and beat until well combined.
