Elevate your classic chocolate chip cookies with the rich, nutty flavor of brown butter. These cookies have chewy centers and crisp edges, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty. Pour into a heatproof bowl and let cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the brown 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

  • For an extra nutty flavor, toast your butter a little longer until it’s a deeper brown, but be careful not to burn it.
  • You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
  • Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, like dark chocolate or a mix of milk and dark.
