Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temp
- 1 egg yolk room temp
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 & 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1 & 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt
- 1/3 cup thick chocolate sauce or hot fudge sauce
Instructions
- Scoop 6 one-tablespoon portions of chocolate sauce onto a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. Freeze while you prepare the cookie dough.
- Melt unsalted butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until it turns golden with brown specks (about 7 minutes). Pour into a heatproof bowl and cool for 10 minutes.
- Whisk the light brown sugar and granulated sugar into the warm brown butter until smooth and slightly thickened (about 1 minute).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and sea salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Add the chocolate chips, incorporating them gently into the dough, which will be soft.
- Divide the dough into 6 portions, flatten each, add a portion of frozen chocolate sauce in the center, and roll into a ball, ensuring the chocolate is enclosed.
- Place dough balls in a greased or parchment-lined 8-inch round or square pan, making sure they are touching or very close together.
- Refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F.
- Bake for 14-15 minutes until edges are golden but centers seem underdone.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Serve with scoops of ice cream.
