Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Report
There's just something magical that happens when you brown butter before you bake with it. I don't know who the genius is that ever first came up with the idea, but I'm so glad they did – and I think you'll approve too once you take just one bite of these browned butter chocolate chip cookies!

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Instructions
Brown the Butter
- In a small sauce pan, melt butter. Once melted, continue to stir over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until color changes from pale yellow to golden.
- Remove from heat and pour into a heat-safe bowl. Transfer to fridge for about 10 minutes until it has cooled but is still liquid.
Prepare the cookie dough
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
- In a large bowl combine browned and cooled butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Mix for 2 minutes. Mix in eggs and vanilla.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined (don't over-mix). Stir in chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl tightly and chill for 30 minutes.
Bake the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or very lightly grease the baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- Use a large cookie scoop to scoop mounds of cookie dough onto preparing baking sheet at least 3 inches apart.
- Bake in preheated oven for 9-11 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with sea salt. Allow to cool completely on the pan.
- Store in airtight container at room temperature. For an added treat, warm up individually in the microwave for 15-20 seconds!
Notes
- Store the chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
- To heat up the cookies a bit for an extra treat, warm them up individually in the microwave for 15-20 seconds!
- If you don't have a large cookie scoop, you'll need about 2-3 tablespoons of dough to make these large cookies. Roll the dough into a ball the best you can between your hands.
