Directions

Step 1: Prepare dough

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, French Fleur de Sel Sea Salt, baking soda, and Pure Espresso Powder, and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together brown butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 4 to 5 min., until light and fluffy. Add Pure Madadgascar Vanilla Extract, then eggs one at a time, mixing between each addition until just combined. Add reserved flour mixture and mix until just combined. Remove from stand mixer and fold in chocolate chips with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 2: Shape and bake

Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls and set on prepared baking sheet 2-inches apart. Bake for 8 min., sprinkle with a pinch of French Fleur de Sel Sea Salt, then return to oven to bake for another 2 min. or until edges of cookies are golden brown and center is still slightly puffy. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 min. before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
