Instructions
- Follow these steps to brown the butter: How to Brown Butter
- Transfer butter to a large bowl and allow butter to cool for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt, set aside.
- Using a stand mixer or electric beaters, beat the butter with the both sugars. Add the vanilla and the eggs; beat on low speed until just incorporated.
- Add dry ingredients and beat until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips and chunks by hand.
- Scoop the dough into 16 very large dough balls and place on a cookie sheet. I use an extra large cookie scoop that holds about 4 tablespoons of dough!
- Bake cookies for 11 to 12 minutes, until the cookies look puffy and just very barely golden. DO NOT OVERBAKE THESE COOKIES! Take the cookies out even if they look like they’re not 100% done yet, they will finish setting up as they cool.
- If you’d like to sprinkle them with flaked sea salt, do so immediately after removing them from the oven. This will ensure the salt sticks to the cookies.
- Let them cool on the pan for a good 10 minutes before moving them! Enjoy!
