ChefXi OfficialChewy, golden-brown cookies loaded with dark chocolate chunks and a hint of sea salt.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns amber brown and smells nutty. Let it cool slightly.
Watch closely—it goes from brown to burnt very quickly!
In a large bowl, whisk the browned butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the egg and vanilla, whisking until smooth.
Stir in the flour and baking soda until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks. Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes.
Chilling the dough prevents the cookies from spreading too thin.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt while warm.
The key to a deep, traditional flavor is browning the butter first. It adds a nutty complexity that pairs perfectly with dark chocolate. Inspired by the ultimate comfort bake.
