Ingredients

• Butter – we will be browning this for the perfect nutty flavor added to the cookies
• Sugar – both brown sugar for a warm caramely flavor and granulated for a little exterior crunch.
• Flour – all purpose flour is best
• Baking Powder and Baking Soda – I like the combination of baking powder and soda for my cookies
• Salt – both regular salt in the cookie dough and flaky salt for topping
• Chocolate Chips – I love milk chocolate for extra sweetness

How to make bakery style chocolate chip cookies

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Place the butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, the butter will begin to foam. Keep stirring until the butter begins to turn a light amber color. The foam will subside and you will have little brown specks (milk solids) at the bottom of the pan. Cool for 30 minutes.
• In a bowl add browned butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Mix to combine.
• Add in egg and vanilla extract. Mix well.
• Add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix until til just combined. Then fold in chocolate chips.
• Divide dough into 8 balls and place onto a parchment lined baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes.
• Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if using.

Browned butter and with milk chocolate chips creates the perfect cookie. The crispy edges and melty little puddles of chocolate chips are made better with a sprinkle of flaky salt.
