Instructions
- Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until golden and nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add egg, egg yolks, sourdough discard, heavy cream, and vanilla, stirring until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough into 2-tbsp balls, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers are soft. Sprinkle with sea salt while warm, then cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
