Print Recipe

Indulge in the perfect balance of crisp edges and a soft, chewy center with these delightful NYC Thin and Gooey Cookies, rich in brown butter and bittersweet chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it turns deep golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a stand mixer, combine the cooled brown butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Add the whole egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until smooth.
  6. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  7. Incorporate Chocolate: Fold in the chopped bittersweet chocolate until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  8. Shape the Cookies: Scoop and shape dough into large balls, spacing them on the prepared sheets. Chill the dough for best results.
  9. Bake: Bake for 10 minutes, then tap the cookie sheet against the counter. Bake an additional 3 to 4 minutes until edges are golden and centers remain slightly underbaked.
  10. Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough enhances flavor and maintains shape while baking. Store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
