Ingredients
Scale
- 6 tablespoons chocolate sauce
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 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 so the centers firm up.
- 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 together brown butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and slightly thickened. Mix in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until glossy and well combined.
- Whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and sea salt in a separate bowl.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Divide dough into 6 portions. Flatten each portion, place a tablespoon of frozen chocolate sauce in the center, fold the dough around it, and roll into a ball.
- Place dough balls snugly in a greased or parchment-lined cake pan. They should be touching or very close together.
- Refrigerate dough for about 10 minutes while preheating oven to 350°F.
- Bake for 14-15 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers look slightly underdone.
- Cool cookies in the pan for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and top with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Chilling the dough before baking helps maintain the shape and gooey center.
Add more chocolate chips if desired for a richer flavor.
Serve immediately for the best gooey texture.
