Step 1

Brown your butter. Place your butter in a pot or pan (I recommend using a nonstick heavy bottomed pot) on the stovetop on a low to medium heat. After it melts, keep your stovetop on a medium heat and you'll hear it begin to crackle. Stir the melted butter and watch it carefully as it can burn easily. You'll start to smell a nutty aroma (you'll know it when it happens). Once you see the color turn to a light brown or amber, remove your pan from the heat and transfer your butter and all of the brown bits at the bottom into a large, heat proof bowl. (If youd like, for a healthier version you can substitute 1 c oil for the margarine) Add your brown and granulated sugar to your browned butter. Use a whisk to together to help further cool your butter and to fully combine your sugar into the butter. Add in your vanilla extract and continue to whisk and then set aside for about five minutes to allow your mixture to cool more. Meanwhile, in a separate small bowl, crack two eggs and add an additional egg yolk. Add one egg at a time to your butter and sugar mixture. Note: before doing this, if your butter and sugar mixture feels too warm, you can place it in the fridge for about 5 minutes before combining to avoid scrambled egg cookies :) Next, use a spatula to fold in your dry ingredients, flour, baking soda, and salt, to your butter mixture. You may need to add more flour. When your dough has almost formed, stir in your chocolate, chopping beforehand if you haven't already, and ensure they are evenly distributed, mixing only as much as necessary. Once your dough has formed and your chocolate is evenly dispersed, cover your cookie dough and place in the fridge for at least six hours to overnight. I highly recommend leaving your dough to chill overnight if time, and patience, allows. When you're ready to bake, remove your dough from the fridge. If you left it for the full chill time, it should be extremely firm to the touch so allow about 30 minutes for it to sit at room temperature. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line large cookie sheets with parchment paper and use a large scoop or spoon to portion out your dough (it should make 22 cookies at about 2 1/2 - 3 tablespoons each) and place the portioned dough spaced out onto your lined cookie sheet. Bake your cookies for 10-12 minutes. Remove your cookie sheet from the oven. Allow them to cool, and enjoy!
