Description
These rich, nutty chocolate chip cookies made with brown butter deliver crisp edges, chewy centers, and incredible flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until golden brown with a nutty aroma (5–7 minutes). Transfer to a bowl to cool.
Stir in brown and granulated sugar until combined.
Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment.
Scoop 2-tbsp mounds of dough and space 2 inches apart.
Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden. Let cool 5 minutes on sheet, then transfer to wire rack.
Notes
Add flaky sea salt or chopped dark chocolate for variation.
Dough can be chilled for up to 24 hours or frozen in scoops.
Reheat cookies briefly in microwave for that fresh-baked feel.
