Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, browned
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (165 g) light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 cups (340 g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: Place 1 cup unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently as it melts, foams, then turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and cooled brown butter until smooth and creamy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in semisweet chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Optional: Chill dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  9. Scoop dough onto baking sheet using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  10. Lightly sprinkle flaky sea salt over each cookie.
  11. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  12. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning. Use room temperature eggs for smoother dough. Do not overmix after adding flour to keep cookies tender. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top just before baking for best flavor contrast. Chilling dough is optional but recommended for thicker cookies. Baking time may vary depending on oven; remove cookies when edges are golden and centers are slightly underbaked for a soft texture.
