Serves 15
Directions
- 1Brown the butter: Add the butter to a saucepan over medium-high heat.
- 2Allow to melt and brown, while stirring continuously (~5-8 mins).
- 3Continue cooking, stirring with a spatula, until the milk solids begin to brown and the color starts to deepen.
- 4Once the brown butter reaches a deep golden amber color and smells nutty, remove from the heat and immediately pour into a large bowl.
- 5Set aside to cool slightly (about 15-20 minutes), enough so it doesn’t melt the sugars when added.
- 6Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to use later.
- 7In a separate medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- 8Once the brown butter has cooled, add both sugars and whisk until well combined.
- 9Add in the eggs and whisk until well combined and the mixture is lighter in color.
- 10Then, add in the heavy cream and vanilla.
- 11Whisk until well combined.
- 12Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and gently fold until just combined.
- 13Add the chocolate chips/chunks; gently fold until evenly dispersed.
- 14Use a large cookie scoop (#20; 3 tbsp) to scoop the dough out onto the baking sheet, placing the cookies next to each other.
- 15Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 3-4 hours or overnight.
- 16The next day or once ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375F.
- 17Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 18Space the cookies on the baking sheet 2” apart from each other.
- 19Bake at 375F for 12-15 minutes, until the center is slightly puffed up, lightly golden, and the edges are golden and set.
- 20Remove from the oven and if needed, immediately use a bowl or large round cookie cutter to shape into the ‘perfect’ circle.
- 21Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
- 22Serve warm with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and a cold glass of milk, if desired.

Tips
- Highly recommend chilling the dough overnight (or up to 48 hours) for the best texture and flavor.
- To get melty chocolate on top, press extra chocolate chips into the cookies immediately after removing them from the oven.
- The cookies will continue to bake on the baking sheet while they are cooling, so don't be afraid to pull them right at the 12 minute mark.
- If you like your cookies more done, keep them in the oven for 1-2 more minutes.
