Description
A rich and nutty twist on classic chocolate chip cookies, featuring browned butter for a deep, toasty flavor and a perfect balance of crispy edges and chewy centers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Step 3: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until smooth.
- Step 4: Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing just until combined.
- Step 5: Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Step 6: Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 7: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 8: Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Step 9: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Step 10: Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps achieve the perfect crispy edges and chewy centers. Brown the butter carefully to avoid burning, and ensure it cools slightly before mixing with sugars.
