Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350℉ (or 180℃). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
Add butter to a small stainless skillet, heat over medium to medium-low, stirring often until golden brown and fragrant. Let cool. (see how-to post)
Once brown butter has cooled, add in brown and white sugars and beat with a hand mixer. Add in eggs, milk and vanilla. Again, mix until combined.
Using a mesh strainer, sift in flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Use a spatula to fold in the dry ingredients by hand. Add in the chopped chocolate and mix by hand to combine.
Use a 1½ tablespoon scoop to measure out dough. Place on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until edges are golden.
Remove and immediately sprinkle with flaky salt.
