Serves: 12  
Prep time: 15 minutes + resting time  
Cooking time: 12 minutes 
 
Ingredients  

• 225g unsalted butter
• 210g brown sugar
• 100g white sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract 
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 250g plain flour
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ tsp salt 
• 160g chocolate, roughly chopped
• Flaky sea salt, to garnish 

Method  

1. Add butter to a saucepan over medium heat. Melt butter and continue cooking until the butter starts to brown and smells nutty. At this point, pour butter into a large mixing bowl to avoid burning.
2. Add the sugars into the butter and mix until incorporated. Add in both eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth.  
3. Add in baking soda, salt and flour and fold through until just combined. Avoid over mixing.
4. Fold through most of the chopped chocolate, leaving some to garnish the cookies.
5. Cover the bowl of cookie dough with cling wrap and place into the fridge to chill for 1 hour, or overnight.
6. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 190℃. 
7. Scoop 2 tablespoons of cooled cookie dough and place onto a few baking trays lined with baking paper, leaving 5-6cm between each one to allow for spreading.  
8. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are golden brown and the edges are firm. Remove from the oven and sprinkle over sea salt flakes. Allow to cool slightly before eating and enjoy!
