Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Report
These Brown butter chocolate chip cookies are game-changers. Period. When butter melts and cooks until its milk solids turn golden brown at the bottom of the pan, it creates incredible depth of flavor. Once you try these, you'll never be the same!

Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup dark brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ cups semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips OR chopped pieces of a chocolate bar
- 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts
- Flaky sea salt like Maldon, to sprinkle on top

Bake the Cookies
Notes
- Measure flour precisely - Too much creates dry, cakey cookies instead of chewy ones with crispy edges. Ideally, use a kitchen scale.
- Don't skip chilling - This prevents spreading and develops flavor. The dough keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add chocolate on top - Press extra chocolate chunks into dough balls before baking for bakery-style presentation.
- Slightly underbake - Pull cookies when centers look slightly underdone for perfectly chewy centers.
- Pan Bang - About 2 minutes before the cookies are finished baking, gently bang the pan on the oven rack to deflate, then continue baking. This gives them an even more beautiful texture and appearance!
