Brown Butter Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are the BEST cookies, especially if you are in to the sweet and salty together!!

1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp sea salt, plus more for tops
1 c. chocolate chips

In sauce pan, brown your butter. (If you are like me, I didn't know what this meant...) Just melt the 2 sticks over medium high heat until it turns a light brown color. Mine took about 10 minutes. I was whisking it the whole time. Easy, right?? It even smells different than regular melted butter. Once browned, set aside and let it cool. It will melt the chocolate chips if it is too warm.
Next, cream the sugars in with the butter. Add the eggs and vanilla.
In separate bowl, measure out the flour, baking soda, and 1 tsp sea salt. Add the flour mixture in with the wet mixture a little at a time. Stir in chocolate chips.
Put cookie dough dollops on baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees for about 12-15 minutes. Get it out when it is still a little gooey as it will continue to bake on sheet after removed from oven. In my opinion, it is better to get them out too soon than too late.Enjoy!
