Cookie Dough Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted until browned
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk room temperature
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it turns brown and has a nutty aroma. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar and granulated sugar with the browned butter.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and the vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the center is still soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week or freeze for up to three months. Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies soft and chewy. Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
