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
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Melt butter in a saucepan until golden brown, then let it cool.
  2. Prepare Dough: Preheat oven, line baking sheets, and whisk dry ingredients in a bowl.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Beat brown butter and sugars until fluffy, then add eggs, vanilla, and milk.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Gradually mix in dry ingredients to form a dough, then fold in chopped chocolate.
  5. Shape and Chill: Scoop dough into balls, press two together for large cookies, chill before baking.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies, bang the sheet midway, then bake until edges are golden and centers are slightly underbaked.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let cookies cool on the pan before transferring to a wire rack or serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the brown butter cools completely before adding to sugars.
  • For extra chocolate, press additional chunks on top before baking.
  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake and allow to set on the baking sheet.
  • Use a cookie scoop for consistent sizing and even baking.
  • If baking multiple trays, rotate them halfway through baking for even browning.
