Method

6 steps

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it foams, smells nutty and turns golden brown. Remove from the heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Stir the cooled brown butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla together in a mixing bowl until well mixed. Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each.
Stir in the flour, salt and baking soda until just combined, then fold in the chocolate.
Chill the dough to prevent spreading and deepen the flavour. This is optional but recommended; 30 to 60 minutes works, and up to 1 week is ideal.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scoop the dough with a medium ice cream scoop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until the edges are golden and the centres are just set. Do not overbake, as the cookies keep setting as they cool.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack.
