Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in a sauté pan over medium heat, stirring until it foams and turns a light amber color (about 5-7 minutes). Let cool for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled brown butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup light brown sugar. Beat together until smooth (about 2 minutes).
  4. Add 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 room temperature eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gradually add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, folding it in gently to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in 1½ cups of dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop about 1½ tablespoons of dough into balls, placing them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft.
  8. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on warm cookies, if desired, and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
