Ingredients

  • 113 g Unsalted butter ½ cup, Room temperature
  • 113 g Unsalted browned butter ½ cup, Room temperature
  • 165 g Dark brown sugar ¾ cup
  • 100 g Granulated sugar ½ cup
  • 2 large Eggs Room temperature
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 150 g AP flour 1¼ cup
  • 130 g Bread flour 1 cup + 1½ tbsp
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Sea salt
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
  • 4 oz Semi-sweet/Dark chocolate bar chopped
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  • A few hours prior to making the cookie dough you will want to brown one of the sticks of butter. After the butter is finished browning, pour into a small bowl and allow to come to room temperature. It does not have to completely re-solidify but it is fine if it does.
  • In a medium size bowl, weigh out and combine AP flour, bread flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer or a bowl that can be used with a hand mixer, combine unsalted butter, browned butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix together, creaming until butter is light and fluffy (2-4 min).
  • Add in eggs, one at a time, mixing in completely before adding the next.
  • Stir in vanilla.
  • In 2-3 batches, add in flour mix to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, not overmixing.
  • Add in chocolate chips and chopped chocolate bar, stirring in with a spatula by hand.
  • The dough should chill for at least 8 hours, but up to 24. You can either scoop cookie dough before chilling and chill on cookie sheet covered with cling wrap or chill bowl of dough. If chilling whole bowl, cookie dough will need to warm up a bit before being able to scoop.
  • After cookie dough has chilled, bake at 375°F for about 12 minutes on a parchment lined cookie sheet on the center rack.
  • Remove from cookie sheet immediately after baking to cooling rack. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while hot. Store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
