Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies with Sea Salt

1 ¼  cups butter, browned and then chilled back to solid form
¾  cup granulated sugar
1 ¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ⅓+ cups all-purpose flour 
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
2+ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 oz. grated chocolate bar

Brown Butter on stovetop on medium heat, stirring constantly. Butter will foam and turn light brown. Remove from heat and cool back to a solid form. (I often do this the night before or place butter in fridge to chill to solid form.) Cream browned butter, and sugars with an electric mixer on medium high for 1+ minute or until fluffy. Hand stir in eggs and vanilla extract; don’t overmix. Add dry ingredients all at once and mix until fully incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips and grated chocolate. Scoop out approximately 18 3” balls of dough.  Gently roll. For a richer flavor and smoother texture, form cookie dough balls, flatten slightly and refrigerate or freeze until ready to bake.  Sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Place on greased or parchment paper on an aluminum cookie sheet. Bake at 385 degrees for 12+ min.
