Important Notes

⚠️

Browning the butter is a crucial step that adds a deep, nutty, toffee-like flavor to the cookies. Don't skip it!

⚠️

Using a combination of bread flour and all-purpose flour provides the perfect chewy texture with a sturdy structure.

⚠️

Espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor without making the cookies taste like coffee.

⚠️

Chilling the dough is highly recommended. It allows the flour to fully hydrate and the flavors to deepen, resulting in a richer, more complex cookie and less spread during baking.

⚠️

Using a mix of chocolate chips and larger chopped chunks creates varied textures and pockets of melted chocolate.
