Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare Brown Butter: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Cool in the fridge until solidified.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer, combine cooled brown butter with dark brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat on medium until fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Incorporate egg yolks, vanilla extract, and sour cream into the mixture. Beat until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Gradually mix with wet ingredients.
- Fold in Chocolate: Gently fold in the chocolate using a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Portion and Shape: Roll dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place on baking sheets, leaving space between them.
- Sprinkle with Salt: Top dough balls with extra chocolate and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
- Bake: Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until golden edges appear. Rotate trays halfway through baking.
- Cool: Let cookies cool on the sheets for 15 minutes before transferring to wire racks.

Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing to maintain cookie texture. Chilling dough can prevent excessive spreading during baking.
