Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks or 16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted until browned and cooled to room temperature (see tips for guidance)
  • 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (add more only if dough is too soft, 1 tablespoon at a time)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brown Butter: Place the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the butter turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Pour the browned butter into a heatproof bowl, making sure to scrape in all the toasted bits. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until the butter is solid but soft enough to press with a finger.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. Cream the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 15 seconds after each addition.
  5. Combine and Fold: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chopped chocolate chunks.
  6. Form the Cookies: Scoop 3-tablespoon portions of dough and roll into balls (each approximately 1/4 cup in size). Place the dough balls on a prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space for spreading.
  7. Bake: Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
