- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Let it cool slightly.
- In a bowl, mix the brown sugar and granulated sugar with the browned butter until creamy. Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just mixed. Fold in chocolate chunks.
- Scoop dough onto baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for best results.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges but soft in the center. Cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to wire racks.
