Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brown butter by melting it in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown and aromatic (5–7 minutes). Let cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the cooled brown butter with white and brown sugars until smooth. Add vanilla extract and eggs, mixing well.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Gradually add to wet ingredients until combined.
  4. Gently fold in both types of chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
  5. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor and texture.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden around edges but still soft in the center. Cool on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
