Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chunks
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use a whisk or a hand mixer to mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, kosher salt, and espresso powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing the dough.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks with a spatula.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor).
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each cookie, rolling into balls, and place them on the baking sheets spaced about 2 inches apart.
Sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie dough ball.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
