Cookie Recipe

Carly and I are determined to make the perfect chocolate chip cookie.  We had round 1 on Saturday and it was voted a 7...so we are getting there...but last night I made these off a cookie blog I read everyday and they were AMAZING!  I had never thought of the concept of browning the butter but it added the perfect crispness.  And the sea salt on top was surprisingly unreal...go home and make them.   Just be grateful I am sharing the recipe because they were that good.  I will let you know when we have mastered our choc. chip recipe...because we are combining about 5 different recipes.  

1 cup butter (2 sticks)

1 1/4 cups light brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla

2 3/4 cups flour

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1 bag chocolate chips

*Place butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling pan to melt.  Once melted, watch carefully.  It will foam, then boil, then little brown bits will start to form around the sides and bottom of pan.  Once butter turns a golden brown, remove from heat.  Transfer to a glass bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.  Mix both sugars together then add the brown butter, eggs and vanilla.  Mix well.  Add dry ingredients and then chocolate chips.  Scoop onto cookie sheet and sprinkle tops with sea salt.  Bake for 9-10 minutes at 375.  Let cool for 5 minutes on pan before transferring to cooling rack.
