Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Brown Butter. Melt salted butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, cooking for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a bowl and cool for 1 to 1.5 hours.
  2. Step 2: Preheat the Oven. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and flaky sea salt in a bowl; set aside.
  4. Step 4: Cream Butter and Sugars. Beat cooled brown butter with dark brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Step 5: Add the Eggs. Add eggs one at a time, incorporating fully before adding the next.
  6. Step 6: Combine with Dry Ingredients. Gradually mix in flour mixture until just combined, then fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Step 7: Shape the Cookies. Form 3-tablespoon sized balls and place on prepared sheets, spacing them evenly.
  8. Step 8: Bake the Cookies. Bake for about 11 minutes until edges are golden, then cool on sheets for 10-12 minutes.
