Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a heavy skillet or pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir constantly for 6-9 minutes until it turns golden brown and the milk solids settle at the bottom. Remove from heat and let cool in a heat-resistant bowl, then refrigerate until solid.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer, cream the solidified brown butter with both sugars. Gradually add the vanilla extract and eggs one by one, mixing on low speed.
- Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until just combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop 1½ tablespoons of dough and place on the baking sheet, leaving about 2½ inches between each dough ball. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned and set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make sure the butter is fully cooled before mixing to ensure a fluffy texture.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain freshness.
You can use a mix of chocolate chips for extra flavor. If desired, try dark chocolate or white chocolate chips.
