Ingredients

1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups (260g) dark chocolate chunks or chopped chocolate
Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

(Optional) Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Let cool for 10–15 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk the cooled butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until glossy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chunks, reserving a few for topping.
Cover and chill the dough for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft.
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt right after baking, if using.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
