Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated white sugar
- 1 large (50g) egg
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1 1/2 tsp (4g) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp (0.5g) ground cloves
- 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- flaky sea salt
Instructions:
- Brown the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly until it foams and small brown bits form at the bottom. Immediately remove from heat.
- Whisk the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves into the hot browned butter to bloom the spices, then let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
- Whisk the browned butter mixture with light brown sugar and granulated white sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until glossy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are set and deep golden brown but the centers remain soft.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
