Ingredients
  

Dairy
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter 168 g, melted and browned
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar 200 g
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar 50 g
Eggs
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Dry ingredients
  • 1.75 cup all-purpose flour 220 g
  • 0.75 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt plus flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Chocolate
  • 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 225 g, roughly chopped if using block

Method
 

  1. Cook the butter over medium-low heat until golden brown, then cool slightly.
  2. Mix browned butter with sugars, then add egg, yolk, and vanilla, stirring well.
  3. Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined; chill dough for at least 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), scoop dough onto baking sheets, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  5. Bake for 12-13 minutes until golden around edges; cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps develop flavor and prevents spreading.
