Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 3/4 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 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Brown the butter: Melt the butter over medium heat in a light-colored saucepan. Swirl the pan occasionally. It will foam, then subside, and eventually turn a golden brown color with a nutty aroma. Remove it from the heat immediately to prevent burning.
- In a large bowl, cream together the browned butter and sugars 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.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Sprinkle with sea salt (optional).
