Description
Delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies with a rich flavor and amazing texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 large whole eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla paste
- 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chopped from a bar)
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Take out a silicon whisk and give the butter a stir. It will begin to foam up and bubble. Stirring frequently, allow it to keep going until it goes from a pale yellow color to a light brown color. Once it hits a light brown color, give it a few more stirs to monitor the color. This process happens quickly, so don’t walk away! Keep stirring it until it turns deep golden brown. Remove it from the heat and stir a few more times.
- Place the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 4 inches apart.
- Bake for 8 minutes. At the 8-minute mark, remove them from the oven to shape them (optional). Rotate the pan and bake for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Notes
- To ensure even baking, use a scale to measure the ingredients.
- For a richer flavor, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
