Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 2 egg yolks
  • teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Prepare a baking pan by lining with parchment or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla extract until combined and smooth. Pour into dry mixture and mix until fully combined.
  • Add chocolate chips and mix well to distribute.
  • Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out dough balls and place about 2 to 2 ½ inches apart on the baking pan. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until they are puffed and the edges just begin to turn golden. (They bake for exactly 12 minutes in my oven for the perfect doneness.)
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 5-8 minutes, or until they've firmed up a bit. Carefully remove from baking pan and place on a cooling rack.
