Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Makes 5-6 large cookies or 8-10 medium-sized cookies.
Ingredients:
- 120g Butter
- 100g Light Brown Sugar
- 100g Granulated Sugar
- 225g All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 50g Milk, room temperature (any kind)
- 100g Milk Chocolate Chips
- 80g Dark Chocolate Chunks
Method:
- In a pot, melt butter over medium heat. Stir occasionally, and watch as it begins to foam and bubble. Continue whisking until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Once browned, remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl, and allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
- Once the butter has cooled, add both the light brown and granulated sugars. Whisk until the mixture becomes creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add milk and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and stir well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until you form a smooth dough.
- Fold in the milk chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
- Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, place rounds of cookie dough onto a tray lined with baking paper. For best results, chill the dough for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chilled cookie dough for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden.
- While the cookies are still warm, press additional chocolate chips into the tops for a bakery-style finish.
- Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve up these brown butter wonders and watch them disappear in a heartbeat. Enjoy your baking! 🍪🍫
