Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (to be browned)
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temp
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Swirl constantly until it foams and turns a deep amber color with a nutty aroma. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly.
  2. Dry Ingredients: Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  3. Wet Ingredients: Add both sugars into the browned butter and whisk until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla.
  4. Combine: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
  5. Chill & Bake: Chill dough for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop 2-tablespoon balls onto a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Top with flaky sea salt.
