Description
This recipe delivers the best brown butter chocolate chip cookies. They are soft, chewy, and packed with rich flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter turns golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, cream together the browned butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an even richer flavor, use a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips.
- Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much.
- Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
