  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 24 servings

Ingredients

Browned Bourbon Butter

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 2 shots bourbon

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 to 3 cups dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Make Browned Bourbon Butter: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the two sticks of unsalted butter. Stir frequently and watch carefully as the butter transitions from yellow to a golden brown color—this should take a few minutes. Remove the pan from heat immediately to avoid burning. Pour in two shots of bourbon and stir to combine. Let the mixture cool to room temperature before using.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a stand mixer, combine the cooled browned bourbon butter with brown sugar, white sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour into the wet mixture in small increments to prevent overflow while mixing. Then incorporate the baking soda and salt and continue mixing until fully combined.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough using the mixer at low speed or a spatula.
  6. Chill Dough: Scoop large balls of the cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet. Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour to firm up; longer chilling or freezing is also possible if desired.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. The cookies may seem slightly undercooked, but they will set perfectly as they cool. Remove from the oven.
  8. Cool and Serve: Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely so they set properly. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for the best gooey texture.

Notes

  • Watch the browned butter carefully to avoid burning; it should be a golden brown color and smell nutty.
  • Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and improves flavor and texture.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for best flavor and gooey texture.
  • Alcohol in the bourbon largely cooks off but adds depth of flavor; you can reduce the amount if preferred.
  • Cookies can be frozen before or after baking for longer storage.
