Ingredients
1 cup Unsalted European-style butter
1 cup Brown sugar, packed tight
1/2 cup Granulated white cane sugar
2 Large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
1 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Fine sea salt
1 1/2 cups Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
Heat the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat until it foams.
Swirl the pan constantly until the milk solids turn a deep amber color and smell nutty.
Remove the pan from heat immediately and transfer the butter to a heat-proof bowl to cool slightly.
Whisk the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and slightly cooled brown butter together in a large mixing bowl.
Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring full incorporation.
Fold the flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture until no dry streaks remain.
Stir in the chocolate chunks gently.
Scoop dough onto a prepared baking sheet and bake at 350F for 12 minutes.
Notes
Use a light-colored saucepan to monitor the butter color easily so it does not burn. Ensure the butter is cooled slightly before adding eggs to avoid scrambling them. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
