Description
Experience the ultimate balance of a soft, chewy center and perfectly crisp golden edges with this reliable cookie recipe. Rich melted butter and decadent dark chocolate chunks create a deeply satisfying treat that stays moist for days.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped into chunks
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Add the large egg and vanilla extract, stirring gently until the mixture is well combined and uniform.
- Fold in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt using a spatula until just combined, taking care not to over-mix.
- Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate chunks until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1.5 tablespoon balls and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to prevent spreading.
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and bake the chilled dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10-11 minutes until the edges are light golden brown.
Notes
To achieve a professional bakery look, set aside a few extra chocolate chunks to press into the tops of the dough balls right before baking. Additionally, using a kitchen scale to measure your flour in grams will ensure a consistent, perfect texture every time you bake this recipe.
