INGREDIENTS
- ¾ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1½ tablespoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon flaked sea salt plus more for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Brown the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir constantly until it turns golden brown. Do NOT leave it on the stove, because it can quickly get burned. Once it is ready, let it cool.
- In a large bowl, add the butter and both sugars. Mix until combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat on LOW until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the dry ingredients slowly, until everything comes together. VERY IMPORTANT: Do not over mix or your cookies will not be soft.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
- Cover bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Use a small cookie scoop to make the balls of dough.
- Place them on the baking pan around 2 inches apart. They really do expand, so keep that in mind.
- Place a couple of chocolate chips onto the tops of the balls of dough, so when they are ready, they will look fantastic!
- Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges look lightly golden. Do not overcook. It is better they are a bit under cooked if it's the case.
- Sprinkle some sea salt on top of the cookies and let them cool.
