Ingredients
Cookie Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter Browned for a nutty flavor
- 1 cup brown sugar Packed tightly
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Adjust if using salted butter
- 2 cups chocolate chips Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate for richer flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan, add the unsalted butter and heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Watch carefully as the butter bubbles and changes color, turning deep golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
Baking
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For serving, pair these cookies with vanilla ice cream or drizzle with chocolate sauce. To store, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
