Calories: 250kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces
- 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped Twix candy bars, about 10 fun size bars
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Place the butter in a medium saucepan and melt over medium heat, stirring often, until it foams, smells nutty, and browns. This will take about 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape the browned butter into a medium bowl. Cover and place in the fridge until the butter sets up. It should be soft but not solid. This should take about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the chilled brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined, don’t over mix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped Twix candy bars.
- Roll the cookie dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, about 2-inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are golden brown around the edges but still a little soft in the center.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
You can chill the dough for up to 72 hours and then bake the cookies.
