Description
Deliciously chewy brown butter chocolate chip cookies with a nutty flavor and a perfect texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sticks unsalted butter (1 cup)
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour in the browned butter and mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. 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.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour for better texture.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will continue to cook as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a deeper flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
- Substitute half of the chocolate chips with chopped nuts or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
