Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 1 1/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 2 egg yolks (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a medium pan over medium heat, cook the butter for 5–6 minutes until it begins to brown. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar and white sugar. Add the browned butter and mix until smooth. Add the egg, egg yolks, and vanilla extract, whisking until thick and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a dough forms. Fold in the milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chunks.
- Let the dough rest for 15–20 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop 1/4 to 1/3 cup of dough per cookie, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–11 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft.
- Leave cookies on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
- You can use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate for a richer flavor.
- For a nutty twist, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce after baking for an added sweet touch.
- Vegan option: Swap the butter for vegan butter and the egg for a flax egg.
