First, start by preheating the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, oats. and salt and set aside.
In a stand mixer bowl, cream the butter and both sugar for 2 minutes. Add in the vanilla, the egg yolk and the heavy cream and mix until incorporated, another 2-3 minute. You want your mixture to be light and fluffy.
Add in the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix just until the flour disappears. Fold in the chocolate chunks or chips.
Using a small cookie scooper, scoop out 14 equally sized chocolate cookie dough balls and place them on the baking sheet making sure to leave at least 2 inches between each cookies. They will spread a little while baking. Bake for 10 minutes, then pull them out of the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling wrack.
