The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Add butter to a pan on medium heat, mixing continuously until butter browns (about 5-8 minutes).

Set aside and let cool to room temperature.

Combine dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl (don't add sugars.)

Mix sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and vanilla pudding mix together in a separate bowl. Then add browned butter. 

Once the wet ingredients are mixed, slowly add dry ingredients until combined. 

Roughly chop chocolate bar and fold into the cookie dough with semi-sweet morsels.

Preheat oven to 325°. Bake for 8 minutes then take out and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Bake for an additional 2 minutes. Let cool on pan for chewy cookies.
