Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract optional
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- Place two sticks of butter in a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Once it turns a deep amber color, remove it from the heat and place the butter into a bowl. Let it cool for about 25 minutes.
- While the butter cools, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the cooled browned melted butter, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix well.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a mini cookie scoop, drop the dough about 3 inches apart on the baking sheet. Feel free to add more chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough balls.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Top each cookie off with a pinch of sea salt and enjoy!
Notes
- Don't overbake the cookies, they may look a bit undercooked but they will be fully cooked through around the 10-12 minute mark.
- Use good quality chocolate chips and good quality butter! Irish pure butter is an excellent choice of butter for this recipe.
