Steps:
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flours, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a medium or large saucepan, add the butter and melt over medium heat. The larger the pan you use, the quicker the process will be!
- Bring the butter to a boil, stirring frequently. As the water begins to boil out of the butter, the milk solids in the butter will separate, sink to the bottom, and begin to toast and brown. As this begins to happen, make sure to stir constantly so the butter browns evenly. It may become quite foamy, splatter a bit, and be difficult to see, so keep a close eye on it, removing from heat and continuing to stir if it starts to foam over.
- Once the butter has turned a nice nutty brown, remove from the heat and pour into a large liquid measuring cup to stop the cooking. Allow it to cool down for a minute or two, give it a stir, and carefully add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the butter to bring it back up to 1 cup (240 ml) of liquid.
- Set aside to cool to room temperature. To help speed this process up, you can place in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. You want to make sure the butter is still liquid when you're adding it to the dough later on, so make sure to remove after 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, add the sugars, vanilla, espresso powder, and cooled brown butter. Cream together with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
- Add the egg and yolk and beat until incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients, about ⅓ of the mixture at a time, and beat between additions until just incorporated. It's okay for there to be a bit of unmixed flour on the edge of bowl, this will be incorporated in the next step.
- Using a wooden spoon, fold the chocolate chips and chunks into the dough
- Scoop the cookies onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in 3-tablespoon-sized mounds.
- For optimal flavor, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or, even better, overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
- Evenly space the dough 3 inches (8 cm) apart from one another on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 12-14 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to cream butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Add eggs to the mixture in a large bowl and combine with a hand mixer.
- In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the larger bowl. Fold in the dry ingredients using a spoon to be sure you do not over mix the dough.
- When flour is mostly mixed together, add the last of the dry ingredients and chocolate chips to the large bowl of dough. Fold in flour and chips till dough comes together. Avoid overmixing..
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a small or medium cookie scoop, scoop balls of dough onto the baking sheet.
- Bake cookies in the oven for 10 minutes (for a softer cookie) or 15 minutes (for a crispier cookie), then cool on a baking sheet or on wire racks for 5 minutes.
- Serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies. Look for chips that are made with real chocolate and have a high cocoa content.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help the cookies get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soft.
