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.
