Ingredients

Scale
  • 11 TBSP unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed

  • 1 TBSP vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup bread flour

  3. To brown the butter, the butter in a large saucepan on medium high
  4. Melt butter, stirring only occasionally

  7. Once sizzling sound stops, continue stirring often until golden brown bits begin to collect on the bottom of the pan. The butter will smell slightly nutty and aromatic.

  11. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix on medium speed for 30 seconds. Mixture will be smooth and glossy

  13. Do not overmix
  14. Gently fold in chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate and mix gently until all combined
