Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 4 ounces unsalted butter melted until browned
- 1 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 2 and 1/2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg plus one egg yolk at room temperature
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup toasted pecans roughly chopped
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped into chunks
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly spray parchment and any exposed pan with non-stick spray, set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter until browned (see link in post for instructions.)
- Remove from heat and cool for a few minutes, then scrape the butter into a large heat proof mixing bowl.
- Whisk in the brown sugar and mix until well combined. Stir in the bourbon and vanilla. Then add in the egg and egg yolk, beating until combined.
- Combine flour, cinnamon and salt in medium bowl and whisk to combine.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Finally, fold in the pecans and chocolate. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan (it will be thick.).
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are firm and golden and the center is just slightly wobbly. Cool in pan for at least 20 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving, if desired.
