Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies: The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies You’ll Ever Eat

Brown butter chocolate chip cookies are a delicious and decadent treat. They are made with browned butter, which gives them a rich, nutty flavor. The browned butter also helps to create a chewier texture in the cookies. The cookies are typically made with semisweet chocolate chips, but you can use any type of chocolate chip that you like.

Here is a recipe for Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is browned and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Transfer the browned butter to a large bowl and let cool slightly.
3. Stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
7. Stir in the chocolate chips.
8. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
9. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
10. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
12. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!

Tips:

• For chewier cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
• For crispier cookies, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes.
• Use your favorite type of chocolate chips. I like to use a mix of semisweet and milk chocolate chips.
• These cookies are best eaten warm from the oven, but they are also delicious at room temperature.

Variations:

• Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts to the dough.
• Add 1/4 cup of dried fruit to the dough.
• Drizzle the cookies with melted chocolate after they are baked.
• Sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt after they are baked.
