Serves: 30 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted Butter
  • 2½ cups all-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon coarse Sea Salt
  • ½ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs, whisked
  • 1 cup light Brown Sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Bean Paste
  • 2 cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips
  • Flaked Sea Salt, optional for topping
Preparation Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. Melt the butter and allow it to boil. Keep the butter moving by swiping it in the pan or whisking it so that it doesn’t burn. Allow the butter to heat until it turns a dark amber color. Then transfer it immediately to a bowl and let it cool for at least 20 minutes.
  2. While the butter cools, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt in a large bowl.
  3. Once the butter is cooled, add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, whisked eggs, and vanilla to it. Then stir until the mixture is well combined.
  4. Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, and use a wooden spoon to combine the cookie dough.
  5. Finally add the chocolate chips to the dough and stir until the chips are throughout the dough.
  6. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper and spoon about 2 tablespoons worth of dough onto the sheet spacing them about 2 inches apart. I used my hands to form them into balls, because then they’d have a more uniform shape.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes or until the edges start to turn a light brown. If you like them soft, you can try 8-9 minutes. I ended up doing 9-10 minutes, because I like them soft but didn’t want them to fall apart. Allow the cookies to sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes when they’re out of the oven. Then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely, top with a sprinkle of sea salt, and then enjoy!!
