Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (brown butter)
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Mix-Ins
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: Start by melting the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir it continuously until it becomes a golden-brown color and emits a nutty aroma. Remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Mix Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Pour in the browned butter and mix until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Chill the Dough: For best results, cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps enhance the flavor and texture.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined to maintain the chewy texture.
- Use Quality Chocolate: High-quality chocolate chips make a noticeable difference in flavor.
- Chilling is Key: Allowing the dough to chill enhances the flavors and helps the cookies hold their shape.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cookies as they bake to avoid over-baking.
- Experiment with Sizes: You can make smaller or larger cookies, just adjust the baking time accordingly.
