Giant Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 16 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semisweet baking disks
- 1 cup Velrhona milk chocolate, roughly chopped
- flaky sea salt
Preparation
1) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2) In a small saucepan add the butter and place over medium heat and cook, while stirring, until it foams and than browns, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from the the heat and allow to cool slightly.
3) In a small mixing bowl add the flour, baking soda and salt, mix well to blend.
4) In the bowl of an electric mixer, such as a KitchenAid, fitted with a paddle attachment, add the brown sugar, regular sugar and cooled browned butter. Beat on medium until well mixed.
5) Add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla.
6) Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the flour-mixture and mix until blended.
7) Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate disks and the chopped chocolate. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Note: the dough will thicken as it sits.
8) Since these are giant cookies, use a big generous scoop of cookie dough and place on the prepared baking sheets. (For this recipe I make about 10 large cookies.) Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Place in the oven and bake till beginning to brown and the edges are looking a slightly crispy, about 9-10 minutes.
9) Allow the cookies to cool slightly before serving.
