Decadent Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
A decadent yet simple recipe that will quickly become a favorite in your household.
Ingredients
- 2 ⅓ cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 cup Browned Butter
- 2 Large Eggs
- Splash of Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Combine your flour, baking soda, and salt in a seperate bowl and set aside
- Prepare your Brown Butter, and immediately add your sugar and vanilla and mix on medium heat for 2 minutes to caramelize your sugar. Transfer to a separate (heat-safe) bowl and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The butter and sugar may separate, but that's okay just mix it back in!
- After your butter/sugar mixture has cooled, add your eggs one at a time and mix until combined.
- Slowly add your dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Add your chocolate chips, and fold in till evenly dispursed.
- Place your dough into your fridge for at least 15 minutes, and preheat your oven to 350℉ while you wait.
- Once cooled, spoon out cookies to the desired size. I did 2 tbsp scoops and got a dozen cookies baked for 13-15 minutes, but if you're going for smaller cookies I recommend checking them after 10 minutes to avoid burning!
Notes
- I cannot stress the importance of letting your browned butter/sugar mixture cool before adding your eggs. If you add your eggs without letting the mixture cool, you will end up with scrambled eggs!
- Letting your dough rest in the fridge before cooking is an important step that prevents your cookies from becoming hard the next day. I know it's hard to wait, but I promise it's worth it.
