Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (for browning)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chunks (dark or milk)
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir continuously until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma.
- Mix Sugars: Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Mix in both brown sugar and granulated sugar until glossy.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Add a splash of vanilla extract if desired.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chunks: Gently mix in the chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Enjoy: Let cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
