Ingredients

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

Additional:

  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Melt butter in a saucepan until golden brown. Let it cool.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Preheat oven. Line baking sheets. Mix dry ingredients. Combine brown butter, sugars, and beat. Add eggs, vanilla, and milk. Mix well.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Fold in chopped chocolate.
  4. Shape and Chill: Scoop dough into balls. Press two balls together to form large cookies. Chill in the freezer before baking.
  5. Bake: Bake cookies, bang the sheet midway, and bake until edges are golden and centers are slightly underbaked.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let cookies cool on the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Let the brown butter cool completely before adding to sugars.
  • For extra chocolate, press additional chunks onto the dough.
  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and let them set on the sheet.
  • Use a cookie scoop for consistent sizing and even baking.
  • Rotate trays if baking multiple sheets for even browning.
