Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the egg yolk to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips or chunks until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to cook and set as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your gooey chocolate chip cookies warm or at room temperature with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage.

Cooking Tips:
- For even softer and chewier cookies, try substituting half of the butter with cream cheese.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
