Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
- 1 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 3/4 cups white flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 12oz chocolate chips
- 1 4oz chocolate bar, chopped
- flakey sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Start by browning your butter. In a saute pan, heat to medium. Add butter to pan and let melt down and crackle. Whisk continuously and often during the browning period. Browning takes about 5-7 minutes. Once it is amber brown like maple syrup, turn off heat. Pour brown butter into dish and let cool for an hour.
- In a large bowl, add cooled brown butter. Using a hand mixer, beat both brown and white sugar into butters until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix again until combined.
- In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until all combined.
- Chop chocolate bars into small chunks and mix into dough, along with the chocolate chips. I like to save a few chunks of chopped bar for topping the cookies.
- Let dough chill at least 4 hours or overnight (preferred). When ready to bake, let rest 30 minutes before trying to scoop if refrigerated overnight.
- Roll about 2tbsp dough into balls and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes at 350F or until very lightly golden brown around edges. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt.
- Let cool on sheet for 10 minutes and then move to cooling rack to finish cooling.
