Description
These cookies have a soft inside and a light crisp edge, delivering warm, chewy bites full of chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup (168 g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup (220 g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate (225 g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan, brown the unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it turns golden brown. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour in the browned butter and mix until well combined.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of each cookie dough ball.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough for 15-30 minutes for better shape, and do not overmix after adding flour.
