Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks (optional)
- Sea salt flakes for sprinkling (optional
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously. Cook until it turns a deep amber color and releases a nutty aroma. Pour into a bowl and cool for 10 minutes.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Cream the Sugars and Butter: Combine the cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Beat until smooth and slightly fluffy.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips and Chunks: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks.
- Chill the Dough (Optional): Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes for thicker, chewier cookies.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake the Cookies: Scoop out dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Add Sea Salt (Optional): Sprinkle the warm cookies with sea salt flakes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely
