How To Make Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. First, preheat your oven to 350��F (175��C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Now, it’s time to brown the butter. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Keep stirring it occasionally until it starts to foam and you notice brown bits at the bottom of the pan. It should have a nutty aroma.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugars, and vanilla until well combined. Add in the brown butter and mix everything together.
5. Combine the butter mixture with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Now’s the time to fold in those chocolate chips.
6. Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Make sure to space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
7. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Now, dig in!
