Equipment

  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • mixing bowls
  • silicone spatula
  • saucepan
  • sheet pan
  • parchment paper
  • cooling rack
  • ice cream scoop

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter 1.5 sticks
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet morsels

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375° F. Heat 1 stick of butter in a saucepan over medium heat, until browned but not burnt (about 3-4 minutes), stirring frequently to break up browned bits. Remove and set aside in a large mixing bowl to cool for a minute or so. Meanwhile, add the flour, salt, and baking soda to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Cut remaining butter (½ stick) into cubes and add to browned butter. Mix gently until melted. Add the brown and white sugars to the melted butter, whisking vigorously to avoid clumps, until combined.
  • Add egg and yolks to the sugar mixture, whisking until smooth, then add vanilla extract.  Slowly add your dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) to the melted butter and eggs by folding with a spatula. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to avoid dry clumps.
  • Once your batter is combined, add the chocolate chip morsels and fold to combine.
  • Using scoop (or hands) split the cookie dough into 16 equally-sized balls. Place on a cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper) and bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are golden but not brown.
  • When the cookies are finished cooking, let them cool on cookie sheets or (preferably) cooling rack for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

When browning butter for an extra layer of flavor in your recipes, use a light-colored pan to easily monitor the color change. Keep a close eye as the butter melts, and once it turns a golden brown with a nutty aroma, immediately remove it from the heat to prevent over-browning.
