Salted Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
If your dream chocolate chip cookie is anything like mine, then these cookies are the absolute PERFECT bite.
- 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt + more for the top
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Start by browning the butter. Add the butter to a small saucepan on medium high heat. Let it melt then start to boil. Continue cooking whisking frequently until the butter becomes a dark amber color. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Once the brown butter has cooled, add it to a mixing bowl or stand mixer and combine with the brown sugar until incorporated. Then add the egg and egg yolk along with the vanilla extract. Mix well to combine. Mix together the flour, ½ teaspoon of salt and baking soda, then add all the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Lastly, mix in the chocolate chips by hand. Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours or even overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out the cookies and place them on a baking tray a couple inches apart. Bake 11-13 minutes or until a golden trim forms around the edges, but the center is still quite soft. Enjoy these with some milk or vanilla ice cream or on their own. It will be hard to stop! Sahtein & Enjoy!
