Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brown butter
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chocolate chunks

Instructions
 

  • In a small pot, melt your butter over medium heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent the butter from browning. When the butter starts to bubble start swirling the pot constantly until the butter changes color into a deep brown and a nutty aroma fills the room. Take the butter off the heat and let it cool.
  • In a bowl combine the sugars, eggs, vanilla and your cooled brown butter.
  • Add your dry ingredients (flour, salt and baking soda) to the wet mixture. Mix with a spatula until combined.
  • Add your chocolate chunks and fold into the dough until mixed.
  • Using a cookie scoop, portion your dough onto a lined sheet tray. Place the cookies into the fridge for 2 hours (or overnight) to firm up.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place your cookies with some space as they will spread out. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
  • When they are hot out of the oven you can press some large chunks of chocolate onto the cookie to create delicious chocolate puddles. Let cookies cool and enjoy!
