Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delightful upgrade to my classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. They're loaded with chocolate chips, have the best nutty flavor, crisp edges and perfectly chewy centers. A decadent sweet treat everyone will devour!
Servings: 40 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, browned
- 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2¼ cups all purpose flour
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- flakey sea salt for finishing
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat stirring often until completely melted. Keep stirring the butter until it is foaming and bubbling.
- Continue to stir until the foaming and bubbling starts to subside and the butter has turned a deep golden brown. Then remove from heat. This takes anywhere from 5-9 minutes and you'll be able to smell it once it starts to brown. Watch closely because the butter can go from brown to burnt in a matter of seconds.
- Add the brown butter to the bowl of the stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and let it cool 5-10 minutes.
- While the butter is cooling, preheat oven to 375°F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the brown butter and beat until fully blended together. About 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg. Then beat until the mixture turns pale in color. Another minute or so.
- Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients: baking soda, salt and all purpose flour. Mix on low just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a medium scoop or 2 tablespoons, place cookie dough 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake cookies on center rack in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
- Let cookies cool 3 minutes on the pan and then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: finish with some flakey sea salt before serving.
