Here's everything you need to make these decadent chocolate chip cookies. You can use a bag of chocolate chips, but we recommend chocolate chunks for maximum flavor.

Ingredients To Gather:

• 1 3/4 sticks (7 oz. or 14 tablespoons) butter
• 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk
• 2 teaspoons greek yogurt
• 2 1/4 cups flour (well compacted, not spooned into measuring cup. It's just about 12 oz. when weighed)
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 heaping cup chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)

Directions To Follow:

In a light-colored (so you can observe the browning) skillet, brown the butter: chop up butter and place into skillet over a medium flame. First, the butter will melt. Once butter melts, it will foam and bubble. Make sure to stir the butter every few seconds with a rubber spatula. After a few minutes, the bubbling will subside and golden specks will appear on the bottom of the pan and the butter will start smelling nutty. This means your butter is browned!

Remove skillet from flame right away and pour the browned butter into a mixing bowl to stop the cooking. Make sure to scrape in all the browned specks from the bottom of the pan. Warning: Butter should have golden/amber specks, not completely brown ones. If the butter is too browned, your cookies may have a burnt/bitter taste.

Let butter cool five minutes in the bowl and then stir in both sugars and mix well.

Add in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and stir vigorously with your spatula until the mixture turns a lighter shade. Stir in the greek yogurt till fully incorporated.

Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and stir into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chunks last. Your dough should be pretty thick and dry and you should be able to form one large ball that's easy to handle.

Round 20-22 even sized balls of dough between your palms and place onto 2 parchment lined cookie sheets.

Refrigerate dough on sheets for about 40 minutes, or until the dough balls are cold and hardened. Preheat oven to 350 F.

Bake cookies for 10-11 minutes, until the edges are barely golden. If you can lift the edge of a cookie a bit with your hand, the cookies are definitely ready.

Let cookies sit and firm on baking sheets for 10 minutes before moving them.
