Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4) and line two baking sheets with
  parchment paper.
• 2 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup butter and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa
  powder until smooth.
• 3 Add ⅓ cup sugar, ½ cup light brown sugar, 1 large egg, 1 large egg yolk, 1½-2
  teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt and whisk
  until fully combined.
• 4 Pour in the 1¼ cups all-purpose flour and mix just until all the flour has been
  incorporated.
• 5 Set the bowl aside to rest while you make the dough for the chocolate chip
  cookies.
• 6 In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 1⅔ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoon
  cornstarch, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• 7 Using your stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream together ½ cup butter, ⅔ cup light
  brown sugar, and ¼ cup sugar until smooth and fluffy.
• 8 Scrape down the bowl and then add 1 large egg and 1½-2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  Mix again on medium-high speed until well combined.
• 9 Add the flour mixture and mix slowly only until you can no longer see the flour.
  Stop to scrape down the bowl as needed.
• 10 Use a silicone spatula to fold in 1½ cups milk chocolate chips.
• 11 Using a scoop or kitchen scale, portion the chocolate chip dough into balls that
  are slightly larger than one tablespoon (about 30-33 grams) and the brownie
  dough into balls that are slightly smaller than one tablespoon (about 25-27
  grams).
• 12 Place one brownie ball and one chocolate chip ball next to each other and roll
  them in your hands until they form one smooth ball.
• 13 Place the dough balls onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving several inches of
  space in between them.
• 14 If desired, press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of each dough ball.
• 15 Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4) for 10-12 minutes, or
  until the cookies no longer look wet and the chocolate chip portion is just
  beginning to brown slightly.
• 16 Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5
  minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
