Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Pour into a heatproof bowl and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, cream together the browned butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For bakery-size cookies, use a larger scoop.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a mix of different chocolate chips.
- If you prefer crispier cookies, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
