Giant Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Make something good.

1. 01

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

2. 02

   In a small saucepan add the butter and place over medium heat and cook, while stirring, until it foams and than browns, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from the the heat and allow to cool slightly.

3. 03

   In a small mixing bowl add the flour, baking soda and salt, mix well to blend.

4. 04

   In the bowl of an electric mixer, such as a KitchenAid, fitted with a paddle attachment, add the brown sugar, regular sugar and cooled browned butter. Beat on medium until well mixed.

5. 05

   Add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla.

6. 06

   Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the flour-mixture and mix until blended.

7. 07

   Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate disks and the chopped chocolate. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Note: the dough will thicken as it sits.

8. 08

   Since these are giant cookies, use a big generous scoop of cookie dough and place on the prepared baking sheets. (For this recipe I make about 10 large cookies.) Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Place in the oven and bake till beginning to brown and the edges are looking a slightly crispy, about 9-10 minutes.

9. 09

   Allow the cookies to cool slightly before serving.
