## Ingredients

- 0.75 cup butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 whole egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- sea salt

## Instructions

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