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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, kosher salt, and espresso powder.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing the dough.

Step 6

Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks with a spatula.

Step 7

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie dough ball.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked.

Step 12

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
