Place the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter melts and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 5–7 minutes. Transfer the browned butter to a heatproof bowl and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dark brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour the slightly cooled brown butter over the sugars and whisk until smooth and glossy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, fine sea salt, and espresso powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined.
Gently mix in the dark chocolate chunks and milk chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out 2-tablespoon portions of chilled dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies on the center rack of the oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over each cookie while they are still warm.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies warm for a gooey treat, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
