Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

 


Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

3/4 cup (6 oz.) salted butter

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups (about 9 5/8 oz.) plus 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

3/4 tsp. table salt

1 (12-oz.) pkg. semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped toasted pecans (optional)

Directions

Brown the butter:

Melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium, stirring constantly, until butter begins to turn golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Immediately remove saucepan from heat, and pour butter into a small heatproof bowl. Cover and chill until butter is cool and begins to solidify, about 1 hour.

 

Prepare oven and baking sheets:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream butter and sugar:

Beat browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until blended, about 30 seconds.

 

Combine dry ingredients:

Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.

 

Make cookie dough:

Gradually add to browned butter mixture, beating on low speed, until just blended. Beat in chocolate chips and pecans until just combined.

 

Scoop cookie dough:

Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookies 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.

 

Bake cookies:

Bake cookies in preheated oven in batches, 1 baking sheet at a time, until cookies are golden and set around the edges, 11 to 13 minutes per batch. Transfer cookies to wire racks; let cool completely, about 15 minutes.
