Description
These brown butter chocolate chip cookies offer an extra rich and delicious flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Brown the butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling often, until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Whisk dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream sugars and butter: In a separate bowl, cream together the browned butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined.
- Add wet ingredients: Mix in vanilla extract and eggs.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Chill dough (optional): Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Brown butter adds a deep, nutty flavor.
