These rich and chewy cookies feature browned butter and chunks of semi-sweet chocolate, perfect for a decadent treat.

Ingredients

Butter

  • 12 Tbsp unsalted butter (cut into pieces to help it brown evenly)
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
  • 2 Tbsp whole milk
  • 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2.66 cups all purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 2 bars semi sweet chocolate (chopped, divided)

flaky sea salt

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brown the butter, then cool slightly.
  • Mix sugars into browned butter, then add eggs, milk, and vanilla. Sift in dry ingredients and combine.
  • Fold in 3/4 cup of chocolate chunks. Form dough balls, dip tops in remaining chocolate, and flatten slightly.
  • Place cookies on baking sheets and bake for 10-11 minutes until edges are golden and centers are gooey.
  • Rest cookies briefly on sheet, then transfer to a rack and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.

Notes

For best results, slightly underbake for chewy cookies and use high-quality chocolate chunks.
