Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Method

1. 01

   Brown the butter in a light-coloured pan until it smells nutty and the milk solids turn deep amber. Cool for 10 minutes.

2. 02

   Whisk the browned butter with both sugars, then beat in the egg, yolk and vanilla until glossy.

3. 03

   Fold in the flour, bicarb and a pinch of salt, then the chocolate chunks. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.

4. 04

   Scoop 60g balls onto a lined tray, spaced well apart. Bake at 180°C for 11–12 minutes until the edges are set but centres still soft.

5. 05

   Bang the tray on the counter for that crinkled look. Finish with flaky salt while warm.
