Instructions

Scoop 6 one-tablespoon portions of chocolate sauce onto a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet and freeze while preparing the dough.
In a light-colored saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring continuously until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Pour into a bowl and let cool for 10 minutes.
Whisk the light brown sugar and granulated sugar into the brown butter until smooth. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and whisk until glossy and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and sea salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Add chocolate chips and mix gently.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions, flatten, place a tablespoon of frozen chocolate sauce in the center, and roll into a ball.
Place the dough balls in a greased or lined 8-inch round or square pan, ensuring they are close together.
Refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F.
Bake for 14-15 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain puffy and slightly underdone.
Allow cooling in the pan for 5 minutes. Finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt before serving with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Make sure to let the brown butter cool slightly but remain warm for best results.
Do not overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies.
For the best flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips.
