Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup AP Flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 14 ounces butter brown 10 ounces and save 4 ounces
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 bar chopped semi sweet chocolate
  • 1/2 bar chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

  • preheat the oven to 375F.
  • Begin by browning 10 ounces of the butter in a small sauce pan. This should take 5-6 minutes. Once browned, add the 4 ounces of cool butter to the brown butter and stir until melted.
  • Stir the sugars, salt, and vanilla extract into the same saucepan. Allow the mixture to rest for just a minute or so to aid in cooling
  • Chop the chocolate, and mix-ins. Sat aside.
  • Add the eggs into the same saucepan and stir.
  • In a larger bowl, mix the flour and baking soda. Pour the wet mixture into the larger bowl with the flour until combined.

Notes

Mix-ins: You can add nuts, cinnamon and various types of chocolate to this recipe. I usually add pecans, walnuts, and cinnamon. 
 
Size of cookies: If you use a traditional cookie scoop, you'll get about 36 cookies. If you use an ice cream scooper you'll have 11-12.
