Step-by-Step Instructions
- Brown the butter by melting unsalted butter in a sauté pan over medium heat until it turns golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- In a bowl with the cooled browned butter, combine granulated sugar and dark brown sugar, mixing well until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, bread flour, baking soda, baking powder, fine sea salt, and instant espresso powder.
- Whisk in large eggs and vanilla extract into the cooled sugar mixture until uniform.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients using a rubber spatula, mixing just until combined.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 to 72 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop balls of dough using a 3-tablespoon scoop, placing them at least 2 inches apart on the lined sheets.
- Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes until golden around the edges but soft in the center.
- Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt and cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring.

Notes
Chilling the dough is crucial for the chewy texture. Use quality chocolate for the best flavor.
