Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter Browned for added flavor
- 3/4 cup Brown sugar For chewiness and moisture
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar Enhances sweetness and spread
- 2 large Eggs One whole egg and one additional yolk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Enhances flavor
- 2 1/4 cups All-purpose flour Main structure builder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda Leavening agent for chewiness
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt Balances sweetness
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips For chocolate pockets
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown and nutty, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and the warm butter. Mix until creamy.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla, whisking until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them out adequately.
- Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie mound before baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Measure flour accurately to avoid dry cookies. For a richer flavor, refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before baking. Experiment with chocolate types or add nuts for variety.
