Ingredients
- 3/4 cups butter melted and browned
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 egg yolk room temperature
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C and line two baking trays with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Brown the butter: Melt the butter in a medium sized pan over medium heat. Once it melts, it will crackle, then become foamy – continue mixing the butter while this happens to prevent burning. The butter will go from melted to golden brown quickly, and you'll know it's almost done when the aroma of browned butter arrives. The whole process should take about 5 minutes! Once golden, remove from heat and transfer to a glass bowl. Let the butter cool for 30 minutes (Do not let it harden) while you prep on the rest of the recipe.3/4 cups butter
