Directions

  1. 1Start by putting butter on low heat on the stove.
  2. 2First it'll start to bubble up like this and eventually it'll turn this beautiful golden brown color.
  3. 3Take it off the heat then add in 1 cup of light brown sugar and 1/4 cup of white sugar.
  4. 4Mix that until just combined then add in 1 large egg yolk, 1 whole egg, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla.
  5. 5This is 3 times as much vanilla as normal and I promise you it's worth it.
  6. 6Then add in 1 3/4 cups of spooned and leveled all purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt.
  7. 7Mix this until just combined then add in 2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips (or 8oz of chopped chocolate).
  8. 8From there scoop your cookie dough into 2oz balls.
  9. 9Roll them between your hands and I like to do this trick where you add a few more pieces of chocolate to the top of each cookie.
  10. 10Then you need to chill these cookies for at least 30 minutes. This really helps them to deepen in flavor and leads to a better texture.
  11. 11Cover them, place them in the fridge and when you're ready, bake at 350F for 11 to 12 minutes.
  12. 12Always top your cookies with a little sea salt.
