Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
  • 14 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
  • 3/4 Cup Packed Dark Brown Sugar use fresh brown sugar, not dry
  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Egg plus 1 large yolk
  • 2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tsp. Salt
  • 1 1/4 Cups of Semisweet Chocolate Chunks

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper
  2. Mix the flour and baking soda together in a bowl and set aside.
  3. Melt 10 tablespoons in a skillet (not a non-stick skillet it can make it difficult to see when the butter is sufficiently browned). Melt the butter until it's dark golden brown (1 to 3 ) minutes.
  4. Once it's browned, set it aside and then add the remaining tablespoons of butter and stir until completely melted.
  5. Add the brown sugar, regular sugar, vanilla, and salt to the butter, mix it until it's fully incorporated. Then add the egg and the yolk, mix it until it's completely mixed together and smooth.
  6. Once that is completely smooth and shiny, stir in the flour mixture until it's all mixed consistently. Stir in your chocolate chunks.
  7. Using 3 tablespoons of dough at a time, roll the dough into balls and space them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. Then bake one sheet at a time until they are golden brown, puffy, and the edges have set (you want the center to be soft). Cook for about 10 to 14 minutes (more like 10). Transfer to a cooling rack and then enjoy!
  8. If you're eating them later after you've made them, wrap the one or two cookies you're eating in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 15 seconds. It will taste amazing just like the first time.
