Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Last Updated on January 30, 2022 by Jess

Let me begin with the browned butter. If you’ve never experienced cookie with browned butter, you are missing out. I first learned about it from The Pioneer Woman. Once I tried it, I was hooked. I am excited to introduce you to it in these: Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies.

In times of uncertainty, you should do what you know. Although I like to be healthy, I know baking cookies. For as long as I can remember, my grandma always had a cookie jar full of chocolate chip cookies in the pantry every time my sister and I would visit. Nine times out of ten, she also left some of the raw cookie dough in the fridge for us to snack on. Thank you grandma for such a lasting memory.

Because of this, I have always associated chocolate chip cookies with love and comfort. Who doesn’t love a good old fashioned chocolate chip cookie?  I know I do.  And over the years, I have learned they become  even better if it has more brown sugar than white and bonus points for browned butter. Here’s my official all time favorite chocolate chip cookie. 

Your Ingredients:

• 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup walnuts

Your steps to Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place one stick of butter in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, allowing the butter to melt. Continue to stir until butter just browns, approximately 7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Cream remaining stick of butter with sugars. Scrap browned butter into a bowl, getting all the browned bits (YUM!). Mix well. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix. Combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir into wet ingredients, until just mixed. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts.

Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes, allowing the dough to firm up a bit. Drop cookies by the tablespoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 9-12 minutes until the edges are crisp. And boom, the perfect chocolate chip cookies.
