How to Make Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Step 1 How to Brown Butter for Cookies
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until it foams, turns golden brown, and smells like heaven (about 5 minutes). Pour into a bowl to cool slightly. Pro tip: Don’t walk away—butter burns faster than your patience on hold with customer service.
Step 2 Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
Step 3 Combine Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients. Fold in chocolate chips.
Step 4 Chill the Dough
Refrigerate for 30 minutes. This stops your cookies from spreading like gossip.
Step 5 Bake to Perfection
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Scoop dough into balls, place on a lined baking sheet, and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes—or risk a molten chocolate mouth surprise.
