1. Brown the Butter (Game-Changer Step!)
-
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling until golden-brown and nutty-smelling (~5 mins).
-
Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients
-
In a large bowl, whisk browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
-
Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth.
3. Add Dry Ingredients
-
In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
-
Gradually mix into wet ingredients until just combined (don’t overmix!).
-
Fold in chocolate chips.
4. Scoop & Bake
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment.
-
Scoop 3-tbsp balls of dough, spacing 3 inches apart.
-
Bake for 10-12 mins until edges are golden (centers will look soft).
5. Finish & Serve
-
Sprinkle with sea salt right out of the oven (optional but amazing!).
-
Let cool 5 mins on the pan, then transfer to a rack.
