Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chunks
Make the Cookie Dough
First, brown the butter. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until it foams up and you see little brown bits forming at the bottom. It should smell nutty.
Immediately pour the hot brown butter into a large bowl to stop the cooking process.
Add the dark brown sugar and granulated sugar to the hot butter and whisk everything together until it’s completely combined.
Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract.
In a separate, medium bowl, whisk together the flour, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.
Combine and Chill the Dough
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold with a spatula until everything is just combined.
Fold in the bittersweet chocolate chunks.
Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the fridge for at least ~1 hour. This step is important for developing the flavor and preventing the cookies from spreading too much.
Bake the Cookies
When the dough has about 10 minutes left to chill, preheat your oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop the dough into balls, about 3 tablespoons each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2-3 inches of space between each one.
Bake for ~14-16 minutes, until the edges are set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for ~5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
