  • Combine cooled brown butter with both sugars in a large bowl and mix gently with a spatula.
  • Add the egg, milk and vanilla and mix until well incorporated and creamy-looking.
  • Add flour mixture and fold it in, then add chocolate chunks and chips before all of the flour is incorporated.
  • Refrigerate the dough for 1-4 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Use a 1.35-oz cookie scoop to portion dough into 14 pieces and roll into smooth balls. Place them onto prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden on top and soft in the middle. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
