Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. As it melts, it will foam and sputter. Keep stirring until the milk solids at the bottom of the pan turn golden brown and the butter smells nutty. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
- Pour the browned butter into a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and cream together 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. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or overnight).
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
