Ingredients

  • 199 g bread flour
  • 49 g rye flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 198 g unsalted butter 14 tbs
  • 75 g granulated sugar
  • 149 g dark brown sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 35 g malted milk powder
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 large egg room temp
  • 1 egg yolk room temp
  • 212-225 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • smoked sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

  • Mix bread flour, rye flour, salt, malted milk powder, nutmeg, and baking soda in a bowl and set aside
  • Melt 10 tbs of butter in pan on medium heat, continuously swirling until a toasty brown color. Keep a close eye as butter will go from browned to burnt quickly!
  • Add browned butter to large bowl. Add in the remaining 4 tbs of butter and stir until melted
  • Add both granulated and brown sugars and whisk until fully combined
  • Add egg and egg yolk and whisk until combined
  • Add in dry ingredients and fold until completely incorporated.
  • Fold in chocolate chips
  • Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and using a scoop, portion out your dough
  • Refrigerate for two hours or as long as overnight. I personally recommend overnight if you can for the best flavor and to really hydrate the dough. This prevents the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F
  • Bake straight from fridge for 10 - 14 minutes, until edges are set and center is still soft but golden brown
  • Transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling and finish with a sprinkle of smoked salt while still hot, if using
