Ingredients
  

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1⅓ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee
  • 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate

Instructions
 

To Prepare the Dough

  • Brown the butter on medium heat until the milk solids starts to separate and the color turns amber, and you start seeing brown specs. Make sure to continuously whisk.
  • Transfer to a bowl, and add the sugars.
  • Whisk together well, and set aside to cool for 3-5 minutes. Add the egg once cooled, and the vanilla. Whisk again.
  • Add in the flour, salt, instant coffee, cornstarch, and baking soda. Fold together well.
  • Add chopped chunk chocolate or chocolate chips.
  • Scoop out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and refrigerate for 45-60 minutes.

To Bake the Cookies

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350℉, for 12-14 minutes.
  • Once out of the oven, use a cookie cutter or large cup or bowl to make the cookie shape more even.
  • To get that signature crinkle look, lightly bang the tray onto a table 1-2 times. Let it cool completely; enjoy!

Notes

Quality ingredients grant the irresistible texture and flavors you are looking for in your cookies.
Make sure that you refrigerate the dough for at least 45 minutes before baking. Believe me when I tell you that this step is crucial and truly transformative.
Allow ingredients like the egg and butter to come to a room temperature before using them in the cookie dough. If you forgot to take the egg out of the fridge beforehand, you can definitely run it under lukewarm water.
Wait for the browned butter to cool completely before resuming your recipe.
Please! Do not over mix the dough. Ensure that you have combined and folded all the ingredients without overworking it. Over mixing can result in stiff and tough cookies, compromising their moisture and chewiness!
if you want to get that signature crinkle cookie look, gently tap the baking tray onto a table 1-2 times. Allow the cookies to cool completely before enjoying them!
