Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are not your average chocolate chip cookies! By using brown butter, these cookies gain a rich, nutty depth that makes every bite irresistible. Perfectly soft in the middle with a crispy edge, these cookies balance sweet and savory flavors and are packed with melty chocolate goodness while the brown butter elevates the flavor, making each cookie richly satisfying. 

Ingredients (makes about 24 cookies):

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • Optional: flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions:

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir continuously until it begins to foam and turn golden brown, about 4-5 min. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
  4. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 min. to allow flavors to develop and prevent spreading.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 min., or until the edges are golden brown.
  6. Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt while cookies are still warm for a hint of contrast. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 min., then transfer to a wire rack.
