Discover the rich, nutty flavor of brown butter in these irresistible chocolate chip cookies. A simple upgrade for a classic treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown 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 chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the browned butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter is truly browned, not just melted, for the best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the dough after adding the flour.
  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them.
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
