This recipe yields 12 cookies.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, unsalted and cubed

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 2 eggs, room temperature

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 1/2 cups flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 2 tsp sea salt flakes, plus more for sprinkling

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for tops

Instructions

1. Start browning the butter by placing butter cubes in a small pot and heating over a medium heat for 5-7 minutes.

2. Once butter starts to foam, continue watching until the foam has deflated and the butter is a light amber color.

3. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.

4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prep baking trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

5. Beat cooled butter and both sugars together, using a beater attachment until smooth.

6. Add in eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

7. Add the flour, baking soda, and sea salt and continue beating on a low speed until combined into a smooth dough.

8. Pour in chocolate chips and mix until combined.

9. Using an ice cream scoop or two spoons, scoop out balls of dough, spaced evenly, on a baking sheet.

10. Flatten cookies with the palm of your hands, slightly, and add more chocolate chips on top for decoration (optional) and more sea salt!

11. Bake for roughly 12-15 minutes or until the cookies have a slightly golden brown edge. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool and enjoy!
