Description
Delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies with a rich flavor and soft 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)
- 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 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, I like to give it a few more stirs just so I can monitor the color. This process happens quickly so don’t walk away! Keep stirring it until it goes from a light brown color to deep golden brown. Remove it from the heat and give it a few more stirs.
- I like to place them 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 (this is optional). Rotate the pan and bake for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Notes
- Ensure that the butter is melted but not too hot before mixing it with the sugars to prevent cooking the eggs.
- Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes can help improve the texture of the cookies.
