Soft, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies with a strong vanilla caramel flavor from the brown butter
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup AP flour always spoon and level your flour if not weighing it
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup salted butter
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 egg yolks room temp
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 6 oz chocolate chips more or less to taste
- flaky sea salt for topping optional
Instructions
- Line baking sheets with parchment and heat the oven to 350.
- Place the butter in a heavy duty pan over medium heat and melt until foaming, swirling often. Continue swirling and heating until the solids begin to brown and you see brown specs in the bottom. Stop when they are golden brown as burnt butter is bitter.
- Immediately pour the butter into a heat safe bowl and add the sugars and vanilla and mix well. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the egg yolks into the butter mixture and then fold in the flour mix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop balls of dough using a medium size cookie scoop onto the trays, I did 6 per sheet. Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until starting to brown around the edges. Don't overbake or you will lose some of the soft texture. Sprinkle with salt if you like.
