Ingredients
-
1 cup unsalted butter
-
¾ cup brown sugar
-
¾ cup white sugar
-
2 eggs + 1 egg yolk
-
2 tsp vanilla
-
1 tbsp heavy whipping cream
-
2 ¾ cups LSG white whole wheat flour
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp salt
-
1 ½ cups chocolate chips
Directions
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter. Let it gently simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown, smells nutty, and is foaming. Watch closely — once browned, immediately remove from heat and pour into a large mixing bowl to prevent further cooking.
Combine the warm browned butter with ¾ cup brown sugar and ¾ cup granulated sugar until smooth. Add 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Whisk in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, followed by the 1 tbsp heavy cream until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt until well combined. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula or the mixer on low speed. Mix just until a soft, cohesive dough forms — avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Gently fold in 1½ cups chocolate chips. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour — this helps prevent spreading and enhances flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers look slightly underdone — they’ll finish setting as they cool.
Enjoy!
