Ingredients

• 1/2-pound browned butter - Let cool to room temp.  (this makes the cookies extra yummy but if you don't have time to brown the butter, softened butter will do)
• ¾ cup of White Sugar
• 1 cup of Brown Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• ½ tsp Salt
• ½ tsp Baking Soda
• ½ tsp Baking Powder
• 3 cups Flour
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips (Measure with your heart)

Instructions

1. Add the white and brown sugar to a bowl and cream with the browned butter for 3-5 minutes. 

2. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix for another 3 minutes.

3. Add the dry ingredients in small batches until well combined.

4. Add the chocolate chips and don't be shy - the more the better.

5. Once all mixed, let sit in the fridge for 1 hour if you can wait that long.

6. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

7. Let cool on a rack and sprinkle with flaky sea salt 

 

Notes

• Link to Brown Butter Instructions
• Maldon flaky sea salt is my favorite to add
• Add ¼ cup of sourdough discard if you have it
• We also like to get creative by mixing chocolate, butterscotch, sprinkles, or other fun items depending on the occasion
• Don't forget to measure the chocolate chips with your heart!
