Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • Wooden spoon or rubber spatula
  • Tablespoon cookie scoop
  • Prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper
  • Wire rack

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup (1.5sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (55g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (156g) light brown sugar
  • 1 ½ cups (221g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Flaky sea salt optional

Instructions
 

Brown the butter:

  • Melt 1 stick of butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until golden brown and nutty. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ½ stick of butter until melted. Let cool slightly.

Make Dough:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the browned butter with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in the whole egg, the 2 egg yolks, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir just until combined.

Chill the Dough:

  • Cover the dough and chill for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight for best results. Chilled dough ensures cookies hold their shape.

Bake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°Fahrenheit (175°Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough into balls and place them on the sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.

Cool:

  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired.

Notes

Chill the Dough: Letting the cookie dough rest in the fridge allows the flour mixture to hydrate and the flavors to meld, leading to the perfect cookies.
Use a Cookie Scoop: Ensures even dough balls, so every cookie bakes evenly with a chewy texture.
Watch the Oven Temperature: Preheat your oven to exactly 350°F—using a thermometer is a good idea for best results.
Tap the Baking Sheet Mid-Bake: This helps flatten the tops of the cookies slightly and creates a great cookie texture.
Cool on a Wire Rack: Transferring the cookies from the sheet pan to a wire rack prevents over-baking on the bottoms.
