Equipment

  • 1 Stand Up Mixer Optional

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup butter, unsalted 2 sticks
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup sprinkles
  • flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  • Brown the Butter:  In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 4-5 minutes). Let it cool for 5 minutes.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
  • Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Fold in the Chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Cover the dough and chill for 30-45 minutes (this helps develop flavor & texture).
  • Scoop & Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Scoop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (about 2 tbsp per cookie). If you want to make larger cookies, use an ice cream scoop but you will need to bake 15-17 minutes if making larger cookies.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges but slightly underbaked in the center. 15-17 minutes if larger cookies.
  • Right out of the oven, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
  • Let cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
