Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies with brown butter.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, melted and browned (instructions below)
- 1 3/4 cup (350 g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon (4.2 g) vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking soda
- 1 teaspoon (6 g) salt
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, a pinch
- 8 ounces dark chocolate chips, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the butter is slightly brown in color and has brown specs throughout. Allow to cool slightly but no need to refrigerate to harden.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat the melted brown butter and brown sugar together.
- Add the vanilla, egg, and egg yolks and mix until smooth.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the flour, baking soda, salt and pinch of nutmeg. Stir to combine.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop 3 oz. balls of dough onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are slightly golden brown. The top may look a little soft. That's ok! The cookies will continue to bake a little while they cool.
