Ingredients:
2 c unbleached flour
2 ts cornstarch
1 ts baking soda
2 sticks unsalted, browned butter
c brown sugar, firmly packed
c granulated sugar
1 whole room temp. egg + 1 room temp. egg yolk
2 ts pure vanilla extract
ts instant espresso powder
ts fine salt
10-12 oz bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips/chunks
Flaked sea salt for topping {like Maldon...Fleur de Sel is nice}

Instructions:
In a sturdy pan, slowly melt the butter {go low and slow}, swirling every so often until it gets golden brown and smells nutty. Be watchful so it doesn't burn, which can happen very quickly.
In your first bowl, cream the cooled brown butter with both sugars for 3-5 minutes. Blend in the egg yolk then egg.
Add the espresso power, salt, and vanilla.
To the second bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, and baking soda.
In thirds, pour the second bowl into the first bowl, taking care not to over mix
Finally, fold in almost all of the chocolate.
Scoop and roll each dough ball and press extra chocolate chunks into the tops of each.
Triple wrap and refrigerate for 2-5 days.
When ready to bake, allow the cookies to sit out for 20-30 minutes before baking then preheat the oven to 325* and line a baking sheet with either silpat or parchment {never wax}.
Lightly press flakes of salt onto the tops of each cookie and bake for 8-11 minutes. {This is how long it takes for 2 oz cookies} When in doubt, slightly undertake as the cookies will continue to heat on the baking sheet even after they've been pulled out.
After baking, allow the cookies to set up on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes then carefully transfer onto a wire rack.
