Ingredients

Brown Butter:

  • 1 cup Plus 2 TBSP unsalted butter

Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup White granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Brown sugar packed light or dark
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 2 Large eggs room temperature
  • 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup Mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Brown Butter: Use a large frying pan on medium heat to melt the butter. Stir occasionally until it starts to foam and turns amber brown. Pour into a measuring cup and freeze briefly.
  2. Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies: Sift dry ingredients, beat brown butter and sugars, add eggs and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients and chocolate chips. Scoop dough onto parchment-lined sheets and bake at 350F for 10-13 minutes. Cool on a rack.

Notes

  • Flour- Make sure to scoop and level the flour or use a kitchen scale. Compacted flour can dry out the cookies.
  • High altitude baking- Add an extra 2 1/2 TBSP flour.
  • Brown butter- Don’t use melted brown butter, it will cause the cookies to spread too much in the oven. After chilling, parts of the butter with be a creamy yellow and the milk deposits on the bottom will be brown.
