INGREDIENTS
 

  • 8 tablespoons/113 grams unsalted butter
  • 1⅔ cups/200 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
  • cup/60 grams brown sugar
  • cup/70 grams sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon/4 grams baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon/4 grams baking powder
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt, plus for finishing

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking as it foams, until golden brown and nutty, 3–5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.
  • Whisk the browned butter with both sugars, vanilla, egg, and yolk until smooth. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and fine salt; mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Shape dough into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Arrange dough balls spaced apart and bake until edges are set and centers remain soft, 10–12 minutes. Sprinkle with coarse salt and cool completely on the baking sheet.
