Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

In the realm of cookies, it doesn't get much better than chocolate chip with brown butter. The butterscotch-tinged dough is a perfect complement to the dark chocolate.

Ingreadient

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2 1/2 cups (about 10 5/8 ounces) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips, morsels, or discs (about 60% cacao)
  • 1 (3 1/2-ounce) bittersweet chocolate bar (about 70% cacao), chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt, such as Maldon

Direction

    1. Gather the ingredients.
    2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter starts to foam and turn brown, about 10 minutes. Immediately pour into a heatproof glass bowl; cover and chill until solidified, about 1 hour. (For quicker cooling, place in a freezer-proof bowl and freeze about 30 minutes.)
    3. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. Line three large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Sift together flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.
    4. Beat chilled browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer (if working with a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment) on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
    5. Add eggs and vanilla; beat on medium speed until well combined, about 1 minute. With mixer running on low speed, gradually add flour mixture, beating just until combined, about 1 minute. Fold in chocolate.
    6. Using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop dough, 2 inches apart, onto prepared baking sheets (do not flatten). Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
    7. Place two of the baking sheets on separate racks in preheated oven and bake until edges of cookies are lightly golden and set, 12 to 14 minutes, rotating pans (top to bottom) halfway through bake time. Let cookies cool on pans 10 minutes; transfer to wire racks. Bake remaining sheet of cookies until edges are lightly golden and set, 12 to 14 minutes, repeating cooling process. Serve cookies warm or let cool completely, about 15 minutes.
