Ingredients
Scale
- 12 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups chopped chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling frequently.
- Cook the butter until it bubbles and turns brown, then pour it into a heatproof bowl and let it cool for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the brown butter with the dark brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.
- Mix in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt until a dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for regular-sized cookies, placing them 1 inch apart, or shape heaping 1/4 cup dough into balls, placing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes for regular-sized cookies or 12-13 minutes for larger cookies, then let cool for 15 minutes on a serving plate.
Notes
For chewier cookies, do not overmix the dough after adding the flour.
Feel free to substitute butter with a plant-based option for a dairy-free version.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
