How to make Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Brown the butter: Place 1 stick of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan frequently as the butter melts and beings to foam and froth. Wait for the subtle nutty smell, and a few crackles and pops. The butter will turn a light golden/amber color, and that’s when it’s time to remove from it from heat and immediately pour it into a small bowl. Let it cool to room temperature. Make Dough: Mix the remaining stick of butter and brown sugar together for about 3 minutes, until creamed and fluffy. Add granulated sugar, cooled browned butter and vanilla and mix for 2 minutes. Add the egg and egg yolk and mix until smooth. Pour in flour, salt, and baking soda and mix on low speed until incorporated. Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chunks and chips. Cover dough and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Bake and Cool: Scoop dough into 2 Tablespoon size portions and roll into a ball. Place on parchment lined baking sheets. Bake at 350°F for 11 to 14 minutes, or until just barely golden on the edges. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transfering to a wire cooling wrack to cool completely.
Storage and Freezing Instructions:
To Store: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or freeze. To Freeze: Baked cookies will freeze well in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Browned Butter cookie dough may also be frozen for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to cook time, if needed.
