Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Crackle Cookies



Ingredients: 
  • 14 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups packed dark brown sugar (divided)
  • 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions: 
Heat 10 tablespoons of butter in a sauce pan over medium heat until melted. Continue to cook, swirling regularly until the butter turns brown. Once the brown color appears immediately take the butter off the stove and place the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in the browned butter. 

Preheat oven to 350ยบ
Line 2 or 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a small bowl mix the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of the packed brown sugar, stir with a fork to combine. 

In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside. 

Add remaining 1 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar, salt, and browned butter and beat for about 30 seconds. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, until fluffy. Slowly add in the flour mixture and mix until well incorporated. 

Once the dough is completely cooled, add in the cup of semi sweet chocolate chips.

Create about 2 tablespoon ball and toss them and roll them in the prepared sugar mixture. Align the sugar coated cookie balls only 12 on a sheet. 

Bake for 11-13 minutes, the edges will be slightly browned while the centers will still be soft. (Cookies will look raw between cracks and seem undone, but don't over bake). Let cookies cool on a cooling rack for 1 to 2 minutes.
