Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Pink sea salt for finishing

Instructions

1. Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Mix Sugars: In a large bowl, combine the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, mixing until smooth.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
4. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
6. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Scoop Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with pink sea salt immediately.
9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
