INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons Dark Brown Sugar
- ½ cup Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla
- 2 cups + 2 Tablespoons Flour
- ¾ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¾ cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chunks
- ¾ cup Milk Chocolate Chunks
- Sea Salt Flakes (to sprinkle on top of cookies)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a medium saucepan over medium low heat, melt butter. Once completely melted, add sugars and turn off heat. Whisk or stir until butter sugar mixture looks glossy and smooth - about 2 minutes.
- Let cool to room temperature. May leave out at room temperature until cool or place in refrigerator for 5-7 minutes. ( Mine took 45 minutes to cool) You don't want it to be hot when adding the eggs. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and stir well to combine.
- Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in semi-sweet and milk chocolate chunks.
- Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. For richer, toffee flavored cookies, let dough chill for 24-36 hours.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Place golf ball size mounds of cookie dough on baking sheets. Bake until cookies are golden brown, 12-14 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Allow cookies to set for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire rack.
