Servings: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the butter foams, then turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until creamy.
- Add the egg, extra yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Add the all purpose flour, baking soda and salt and fold until a dough forms.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Let the dough freeze for about 1-2 hours until firm.
- When you are ready to bake the cookies preheat the oven to 350F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Freeze Dough Balls:
-
- Roll the prepared dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they don’t touch.
- Freeze the dough balls on the baking sheet for about 1-2 hours until they are firm.
- Once frozen, transfer the dough balls into a Ziploc bag or airtight container, label with the date, and store in the freezer for future use.
Baking from Frozen:
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven and place the frozen dough balls on a lined baking sheet.
- Add a few extra minutes to the baking time since the dough is frozen.
