Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg plus 1 yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chunks

Method
 

  1. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes until golden and nutty. Pour into a bowl and cool 10 minutes.
  2. Whisk in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, egg yolk and vanilla.
  3. Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt, then the chocolate.
  4. Chill 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  5. Scoop 2-tablespoon portions onto lined sheets and bake 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden. Cool 5 minutes on the pan.

Notes

Cool the browned butter for 10 minutes before mixing so the sugar does not melt.
