Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped chocolate chunks (optional)
Flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, mix browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips and chunks.
Cover dough and chill for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) for extra gooey texture.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place on prepared baking sheets, leaving space between cookies.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are soft.
Sprinkle warm cookies with flaky sea salt if desired. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps create a thicker, chewier cookie.
Use high-quality chocolate for extra ooey gooey pockets.
Watch the butter carefully while browning to prevent burning.
