The Best Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies ♡

Golden brown butter chocolate chip cookies with melty dark chocolate and a pinch of sea salt-crispy on the edges, gooey in the center. 🍪
Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups (155g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking powder
200g high-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Flaky sea salt, for finishing
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns a deep amber color and develops a nutty aroma, approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. **Mix Sugars and Butter**: In a large bowl, combine the cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk together for 1-2 minutes until a smooth, homogenous paste forms.
4. Add the egg, egg yolk, and pure vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Mix until well combined, approximately 2 minutes.
5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in 150g of the chopped chocolate until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Reserve the remaining 50g for topping.
7. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
8. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into 6 equal-sized cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring to leave space between each cookie for spreading. Top with the reserved chocolate chunks.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges and soft in the center. Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of flaky sea salt while they are still warm.
10. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool further.
Happy baking! 🍪
