Indulge in these irresistible Favorite Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies for the perfect blend of nutty browned butter, rich chocolate chips, and a hint of sea salt. These bakery-style cookies are chewy, flavorful, and sure to become a family favorite.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Browned Butter:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until golden brown, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  2. Mix the Dough: Add sugars to the butter, then eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then mix into the wet ingredients. Fold in chocolate chips.
  3. Chill and Bake: Chill dough for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Scoop dough onto parchment-lined sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough enhances flavor and texture—don’t skip it!
  • You can freeze cookie dough balls for future baking.
