About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup bread flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp espresso powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 5 oz dark chocolate
Brown Butter
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp cold water
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 350°F (356°F).
- 2In a medium bowl, sift together the bread flour, all‑purpose flour, kosher salt, and baking soda; set aside.
- 3Make the brown butter: melt the unsalted butter in a medium light‑bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates and the milk solids separate and begin to toast. Stir constantly until the butter turns a nutty brown color, then remove from heat and immediately pour into a liquid measuring cup to stop cooking. Add 2–3 Tbsp cold water to bring the volume back to 1 cup, and let the brown butter cool to room temperature (or refrigerate 10–15 minutes).
- 4In a large bowl, combine the dark brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, espresso powder, and the cooled brown butter. Cream with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 1–2 minutes.
- 5Add the whole egg and the extra egg yolk; beat until fully incorporated.
- 6Gradually add the dry flour mixture, about one‑third of the total at a time, mixing between additions until just combined. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and the chopped dark chocolate with a wooden spoon.
- 7Scoop the dough onto a parchment‑lined baking sheet in 3‑tablespoon mounds, spacing them 3 inches apart. For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
- 8Bake in the preheated oven for 12–14 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 9Enjoy your chewy, buttery, chocolate‑laden cookies!
