chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: chocolate bars

Dark chocolate has less sugar, while chocolate bars can be chopped for a cheaper alternative.

Melt the butter over medium heat until it froths and then subsides, cooking until it has brown specks and smells nutty.

Pour the browned butter into a large bowl.

Add 1 cup of packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to the bowl and whisk together until well mixed and slightly cooled.

Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, whisking until combined.

Add 10 oz (2 cups) of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt to the mixture and whisk to combine.

Switch to a spatula as the dough thickens and add 3/4 cup of chocolate chips and 3/4 cup of crushed potato chips, mixing until evenly distributed.

Use a large cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto a silicone mat or parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 13 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
