Salty Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Salty Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies feature a rich, nutty brown butter base accented with sea salt and two types of chocolate chips. These cookies develop a golden, slightly crisp edge with a tender interior. The browned butter adds a toasty depth, balancing sweetness with a hint of savory salt. They bake to a soft, chewy texture, complemented by semi-sweet and milk chocolate chunks.

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks, salted
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt coarse
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg whisked
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips I did half semi sweet, half milk chocolate
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, then bring to boil. Once it starts boiling, swirl the pan constantly until the butter passes the foamy phase and becomes a deep amber color. Remove from heat and pour into a large mixing bowl. Cool 20 minutes.
- While butter is cooling, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, stir dry ingredients together to combine.
- Add sugars, eggs and vanilla to cooled butter and stir to combine. Pour flour mixture to butter mixture and stir until dough comes together. Add in chocolate chips and stir again briefly to incorporate.
- Using a medium 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, drop the dough 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool cookies 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to cooling rack. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
