Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Went on a Hiatus for a while, but fall is the best time to cook up my fave recipes, so I’m back 🥰🫶

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)

1 cup brown sugar (packed)

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Brown the Butter:

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the butter foams, then turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5–7 minutes).

Remove from heat, pour into a bowl, and let cool for 10 minutes.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:

In a large bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until smooth.

Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

4. Chill the Dough:

Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours for enhanced flavor).

5. Bake the Cookies:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.

6. Cool and Serve:

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

These Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are chewy, nutty, and packed with rich chocolatey goodness! Perfect for any occasion.
