Honeysuckle's Brown Butter Chocolate Chip

Melt and carefully brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until fragrant and golden amber with nutty browned milk solids, then let cool slightly.

In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter, white sugar, dark brown sugar, egg, vanilla, kosher salt, and baking soda until smooth and ribbon-like in consistency.

Add the all-purpose flour and fold with a spatula just until combined without overmixing.

Fold in the large chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.

Scoop into 8 large round dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with flaky finishing salt if desired.

Chill dough balls for 10-15 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are crisp and golden while the centers stay gooey and soft.

Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving warm.
