  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temp
  • 1 egg yolk room temp
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 & 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Scoop 6 one-tablespoon portions of chocolate sauce onto a parchment-lined plate. Freeze while preparing the cookie dough to firm the centers.

  3. Whisk light brown sugar and granulated sugar into the brown butter until smooth and slightly thickened. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, whisking until glossy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently mix in chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions, flatten each, place frozen chocolate sauce in the center, and roll into balls, enclosing the chocolate.
  7. Place dough balls in a greased or parchment-lined cake pan, keeping them snug together.
  8. Chill the dough in the fridge for about 10 minutes while the oven preheats to 350°F.
  9. Bake for 14-15 minutes until edges are golden but centers are slightly underdone.
  10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, then serve with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Ensure the chocolate is fully enclosed in the dough to maintain a gooey center when baked.
Do not overmix the dough; it should remain soft and slightly slick from the brown butter.
For best results, bake until the edges are golden and the centers look puffy and underdone.
