Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat, swirling constantly, until it turns amber brown and smells nutty, about 5 minutes. Pour into a large bowl and cool 10 minutes.
2. Whisk the browned butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.
3. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla until the mixture lightens in color and thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a rubber spatula just until no dry streaks remain - do not overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed. The dough will be soft; cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
7. Heat the oven to 375F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
8. Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place them 2 inches apart on the sheets, 6 per sheet.
9. Sprinkle each dough ball lightly with flaky sea salt and bake one sheet at a time for 10 to 11 minutes, until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
10. Let the cookies rest on the hot baking sheet for 5 minutes to finish setting, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
