ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup (two sticks) Butter
- 2/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons Packed Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 Olive Oil
- 11 1/2 ounce bag Semi Sweet Chocolate Chunks
Method
Step 1
Brown Butter Prep - Melt the butter in a sauce pan at medium heat. Once it’s all melted, continue to cook it while whisking constantly. The butter will begin to foam. Once the liquid underneath the foam is a dark caramel color, it is done. Pour the brown butter (including any grainy solids on the bottom of the pan) into a bowl and set it on the counter to cool down a bit before placing it in the refrigerator to re-solidify. Then, remove it from the fridge and allow it to come back to room temperature.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 350° F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3
Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Step 4
In a large bowl or a stand mixer, cream together the softened brown butter and both sugars. Stir in the vanilla extract, eggs (plus the extra yolk), and olive oil.
Step 5
Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks. Roll into (slightly flattened) balls using 1 rounded tablespoon of dough and place about 3 inches apart on your lined baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in batches for 9 minutes each. Place your cookies on a wire baking rack to cool. Enjoy!
