Ingredients:
- 43 g (or 3 tablespoons European-style salted butter, (if using a different butter, see notes), softened to room temperature)
- 65 g light brown sugar (1/3 cup)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

- 100 g or about 2/3 cup chopped dark chocolate (Use less if you don't like a lot of chocolate. Do not sub with chocolate chips.)
How to cook:

Total time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Prep time: 20 minutes
Yields: 20 servings
Number of ingredients: 12
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ sticks (170g butter, unsalted)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- ¾ cups brown sugar (150g)
- ⅓ cup fine granulated sugar (plus 1 tablespoon, 80g)
- 3 egg yolks from 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- 200 g flour
- 100 g dark chocolate (chopped)
- 100 g milk or white chocolate (chopped)
- sprinkles or flaked sea salt (optional)
How to cook:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking as it bubbles and splutters. A foam will develop on top. Once it goes silent and the foam disappears, you’ll see some brown bits at the bottom and smell a nuttiness, this means it’s done.
- Remove from heat immediately once browned, and place in a heat-safe bowl. Make sure you have 135g browned butter. Add salt and stir. Place bowl in the fridge, allow to firm up for about an hour (when it’s time to make the dough, consistency should be thick like softened butter and color will be white on top with brown bits settling at the bottom)
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream browned butter and sugars for 5 minutes until mix is very light in color.
- Add egg yolks, cream for another minute. Make sure to keep scraping your bowl for unmixed bits.
- Add yogurt, vanilla, baking soda. Beat to combine.
- Add flour, mix just to combine.
- Fold chopped chocolate into dough.
- Portion into about 2 tablespoons, roll gently in sprinkles or sprinkle on flaked sea salt.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
