Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the browned butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent spreading and deepens the flavor.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
  10. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is browned but not burnt. Watch for a golden-brown color and a nutty aroma.
  • Chilling the dough is crucial for texture and flavor development.
  • Adjust baking time based on your oven; cookies should be soft in the center.
