Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, stirring continuously until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar with the browned butter. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
- Add Eggs: Add the eggs to the mixture one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until glossy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Chocolate Chunks: Gently incorporate the chocolate chunks into the dough, ensuring even distribution.
- Chill Dough: Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to enhance flavor and texture.
- Preheat Oven & Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the sheets, leaving space between each scoop. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden at the edges but still soft in the center. Let cool slightly before transferring to wire racks.
