Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour; 2 sticks unsalted butter cut into tablespoons; 2 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt; ¾ cup granulated sugar; ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar; 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 2 large eggs; 10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bits or (5 ounces of bittersweet chocolate disks, half coarsely chopped, 5 ounces of milk chocolate disks, half coarsely chopped)

Instructions

Brown 1 stick of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Transfer the browned butter to a large mixing bowl. Let cool for a few minutes then add the remaining stick of butter. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. Incorporate the cream.
Add both sugars and whisk until smooth. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract & whisk again!
Sift the flour and baking soda together in a separate bowl, then add the 2 tablespoons of salt.
Stir dry ingredients together, then gently add to wet ingredients. Fold in the flour mixture, then whisk the batter until there are no visible lumps of flour.
Fold in chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough for 15 to 20 minutes. Then remove from the fridge and divide the dough into portions for the second round of chilling. Scoop the dough using an ice cream scooper (1 scoop = 1 cookie). Place on a lined baking sheet. Place in the fridge for 12-24 hours, covered with plastic wrap.
When you’re ready to bake cookies, take another prepared baking sheet and add 4-6 cookies per sheet.
Bake at 350 until golden for about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
