Chocolate Chip Cookie Tips
- If the batter is still warm (form when you brown the butter) by the time you add the chocolate or if your kitchen is running warm, the chocolate will melt into the batter, which isn’t ideal. If that’s the case, chill the dough for a bit in the fridge before folding in the chocolate.
- Make sure you rest the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, it’ll be way too runny to bake right after mixing. This will ensure you get the right amount of spread.
- If you’re in a rush, you can make two trays of cookies at a time, for about 13 minutes, switching the trays halfway through. They tend to develop cracks instead of ripples, which is not my ideal aesthetic, but go for it if you need to save time.
Key Ingredients
- Domino’s dark brown sugar: Enhances the depth of flavor with its rich molasses undertones, perfect for achieving a chewy texture in baked goods.
- Guittard semisweet chocolate bars: Provides intense chocolatey richness and melty pockets of decadence throughout each bite, elevating any dessert to indulgent heights.
- Maldon Flaky salt: Adds a delicate crunch and a burst of savory contrast, enhancing the sweetness of desserts while creating a delightful flavor balance.
- Nielsen-Mason Almond extract: Infuses baked goods with a subtle nuttiness and aromatic sweetness, imparting a sophisticated depth of flavor that complements both sweet and savory dishes.

In a medium saucepan, melt the two sticks of butter over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the butter begins to turn a deep shade of brown, about 5 minutes. Immediately dump into a large heat-proof bowl. Let cool slightly.
Add the dark brown sugar (1 cup) and granulated sugars (⅓ cup). Whisk to incorporate and break up lumps. Add eggs (2 large) and extracts and whisk for 1 minute; the batter should lighten in color slightly. Whisk in the coffee (1 Tbsp), kosher salt (¾ tsp), and baking soda. (1 tsp) Switch to a spatula and stir in the flour (2 cups) until almost no flour remains. Reserve about 1/3 of the chocolate and stir in the rest. Set the dough aside in a cool spot to rest for about 30-45 minutes, or until the dough has firmed up considerably.
Preheat oven to 375 °F with a rack set in the center. Line a half sheet tray with parchment paper. Using a 3 tbsp ice cream scoop, scoop 6 balls of cookie dough onto the sheet and space evenly (the cookies will SPREAD. Top with several pieces of the reserve chopped chocolate. Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until the edges are brown and firm but the center is still soft.
Bang the sheet onto your kitchen counter or stove to deflate the cookies. Sprinkle with flaky salt and let cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining cookie dough. Cookies will last 4 days in a sealed container.
