Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 c unsalted butter browned
  • 1 c white sugar
  • 1 c brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 1/2 cups + 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 c chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add butter to a wide stainless steel bottom pan. Heat on medium-low until it becomes bubbly and you can see the butter solids separate from the liquid. Continue to stir the butter as the butter solids/flecks begin to toast. You'll see brown flecks and begin to smell a nice nutty butter smell.
  • Remove pan from stove top and transfer butter to let it cool while you prep the rest of your ingredients.
  • Add browned butter, vanilla, and sugars to a mixing bowl. Beat on medium-high until the sugars are incorporated. The mixture will become smooth and glossy.
  • Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture until incorporate.
  • Set mixture aside to cool before adding in chocolate chips, 10-15 minutes.
  • Add in chocolate chips, mix. Chill dough while the oven preheats.
  • Scoop heaping spoonfuls, a large cookie scoop works best onto your lined baking sheet. Space cookies 2-3 inches apart.
  • Bake 9-10 minutes until just the edges are browned and immediately top with a sprinkle of sea salt. Leave the cookies on the sheet to completely cool. This will result in cookies with crisp edges and a cooked, yet gooey center.
