✨ Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

This recipe doesn’t require fancy gadgets, just a few reliable kitchen basics to keep everything simple and stress‑free.

• Large skillet or frying pan
• Sharp knife
• Cutting board
• Measuring cups & spoons
• Mixing bowls
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Baking sheet / sheet pan
• Parchment paper

👩‍🍳 Step‑by‑Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 °F (≈ 175 °C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, add the butter. Cook for about 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to bubble and then turn golden brown and fragrant (watch closely so it doesn’t burn). Transfer to a bowl and allow it to cool until it’s not hot.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour in the cooled browned butter and mix just until combined. Then add the egg, the 2 yolks, and the vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and thick.
5. Add the dry ingredients (from step 2) to the wet mixture and fold using a rubber spatula until a cookie dough forms.
6. Fold in the milk chocolate chips and the semi‑sweet chunks. Let the dough rest for 15–20 minutes (this gives the flour a little hydration and improves chew).
7. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Scoop out portions of dough (about the size of a ¼ to ⅓ measuring cup) and space them apart (about 6 cookies per sheet).
8. Bake for about 10 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centre is still slightly soft. The cookies will continue to bake on the hot pan after you remove them from the oven.
9. Leave the cookies on the pan for about 10 minutes (or until they’re firm enough to move) before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Enjoy while warm or cooled.

💡 Pro Tips

• For extra chew, let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes (optional).
• Use salted butter if preferred and reduce added salt to ½ tsp.
• To vary flavour: swap half the milk chips for white chocolate or dark chocolate chunks for contrast.
• Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat lightly for that fresh‑out‑of‑oven feel.
• Want thinner cookies? Flatten dough slightly before baking; for thicker, mound the dough more.
