Ingredients

• 14 tablespoons (196g) salted butter

• 2½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt

• 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (237g) dark brown sugar, packed

• ½ cup (99g) granulated sugar

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 2 large eggs, at room temperature

• 1 cup milk chocolate chips

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips

• ½ cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Brown the Butter: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the butter turns amber with light brown flecks and emits a nutty aroma. This should take about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl in the refrigerator to cool until the butter returns to room temperature, approximately 1 to 1½ hours.

2. Preheat the Oven: Once the butter has cooled, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

3. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.

4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cooled brown butter and both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Turn off the mixer and fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

6. Shape the Dough: Scoop the dough into balls, about 3 to 4 tablespoons each, and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Ensure they are spaced apart to allow for spreading.

7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.

8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
