Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ¾ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small to medium bite-size pieces

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Preheat the oven, mix dry ingredients, cream brown butter with sugars, add eggs and vanilla, then gradually add dry ingredients and fold in chocolate.
  3. Shape and Chill: Scoop dough into balls, press two together for large cookies, chill in the freezer before baking.
  4. Bake: Preheat oven, bake chilled dough balls until puffed, bang the baking sheet, then bake until edges are golden and centers are slightly underbaked.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the pan to set slightly, then transfer to a wire rack or serve warm for a gooey texture.

Notes

  • For a gooier center, underbake the cookies slightly.
  • Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
