These cookies combine nutty brown butter with melty chocolate chips to create a perfect balance of crispy edges and chewy centers. A comforting and easy homemade treat that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, browned
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 cups (340g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or mix of dark and milk)

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir frequently as the butter foams and then starts to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat immediately and transfer to a heatproof bowl. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Mix sugars and eggs: In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the cooled browned butter and whisk until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
  4. Incorporate dry into wet: Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Add chocolate chips: Fold in chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Chill the dough (optional): Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to control spreading and deepen flavor.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  8. Portion cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look set but still soft. Cookies will firm up as they cool.
  10. Cool: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use medium heat and stir constantly when browning butter to avoid burning. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes for better texture and flavor. Use a cookie scoop for consistent size and even baking. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack to maintain crisp edges.
