½ cup granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp fine salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 ½ cups walnut halves, roughly chopped
flaky sea salt, for finishing (optional)

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the foam subsides and the milk solids at the bottom turn golden brown and smell nutty, about 6–8 minutes. Pour immediately into a large mixing bowl and let cool for 10 minutes.
2
Whisk the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the browned butter until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking vigorously after each, then whisk in the vanilla extract. The mixture should look thick and slightly ribbony.
