Jack-Jack's Num Num Cookies from The Incredibles by Littleremyfood

Ingredients

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• ¾ cup dark brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 egg yolk
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips

Instructions

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the butter, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, salt, and browned butter until combined — the mixture will look grainy; break up any large lumps.
3. Whisk in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and ribbons form when the whisk is lifted, about 1–2 minutes.
4. Sift in the flour, baking soda, and baking powder, then fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Fold in the chopped chocolate. Scoop dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake chilled cookies for 12–15 minutes, until edges are golden but centers still look slightly underdone.
7. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring — they will firm up as they cool.
