Description
Chewy, bakery style chocolate chip cookies get an upgrade with the addition of rich and indulgent brown butter. These cookies have crisp edges and soft, chewy centers. The brown butter adds a rich depth of flavor that makes them irresistible. The best part about these cookies? You don’t have to chill the dough. They take just a few minutes to mix together and ten minutes to bake.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, add butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter turns a light, golden brown. Remove from heat. Pour the browned butter into a bowl, so that the butter stops browning and doesn’t get too dark. Allow to cool while you measure out the remaining ingredients for your cookies.
3. In a large bowl, add sugars, eggs, vanilla extract and cooled brown butter. Whisk to combine.
4. Add in the sifted flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir the dry ingredients into the dough.
5. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips. Add 2 ounces of the chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir, just until combined.
6. Scoop the cookie dough by 3 tablespoon scoops onto prepared parchment paper. Use the remaining 2 ounces of chopped chocolate to place on top of the cookie dough balls.
7. Bake cookies in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
8. Allow the cookies to cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to finish cooling and setting up for 30 minutes, up to 1 hour.
