Ingredients
Scale
- 6 tablespoons chocolate sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Scoop 6 one-tablespoon portions of chocolate sauce onto a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet. Freeze while preparing the cookie dough to firm up the centers.
- Melt unsalted butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until it turns golden with brown specks, about 7 minutes. Pour into a heatproof bowl and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Whisk light brown sugar and granulated sugar into the brown butter for 1 minute until smooth. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract; whisk until glossy and well combined for about 30 seconds.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and sea salt.
- Fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Flatten each portion, place a tablespoon of frozen chocolate sauce in the center, and fold the dough around it to form a ball, ensuring chocolate is enclosed.
- Place the dough balls in a greased or parchment-lined 8-inch round or square pan, keeping them snug together.
- Refrigerate for 10 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F.
- Bake for 14-15 minutes until edges are golden but centers look slightly underdone.
- Cool cookies in the pan for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt for finishing touch.
- Serve topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream and enjoy their melty, gooey centers.
Notes
For best results, use a light-colored saucepan to monitor the butter’s color closely while browning.
Ensure the dough balls are tightly packed for the perfect shape during baking.
Allow the cookies to cool slightly; they will continue to set as they cool.
