  • Author: ushinzomr

Description

These brown butter chocolate chip cookies are the perfect combination of nutty, caramel flavors with gooey chocolate chips. The brown butter adds a rich depth of flavor that takes these classic cookies to the next level.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter foams and turns a golden brown color, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and browned butter. Mix until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a chewier cookie, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Feel free to mix in nuts or other types of chocolate for added flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
