If you’re not a fan of soft, gooey, chewy, rich chocolate chip cookies then this isn’t the recipe for you. Do you love thin and crunchy chocolate chip cookies? Or super thick and cakey chocolate chip cookies? All delicious! But this recipe ain’t it! I’ll have to post those another day 😉
Now that we’ve got that out of the way…
These brown butter chocolate chip cookies are truly oh so good, and I’m not sure I’ll ever make chocolate chips cookies without brown butter ever again. I hope you’ll give them a try and let me know what you think!
A few recipe notes – if you’ve never browned butter before – no worries! It is not difficult at all. You simply melt the butter over medium heat and continue to cook until the butter has browned. Be careful not to cook on too high of heat, which will result in burnt butter! You should stir your butter occasionally while browning. You will have small flecks of brown in the butter mixture as well – this is cooked milk fat and you want to make sure you get all that tastiness in your cookie dough! Scrape your brown butter well into your mixing bowl.
Brown butter can be subbed anytime a recipe calls for melted butter. It adds a nutty caramel flavor to your desserts and really changes up the flavor profile! This is one of my favorite ways to elevate any recipe.
Yes, yes, yes! This is one of my favorite cookies to keep on hand in the freezer. I like to scoop my cookies and freeze in individual cookies on the baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag. This way I can grab however many cookies I want when the craving hits. Fresh brown butter chocolate chip cookies on a Tuesday afternoon? Why not?

Absolutely fabulous! My first time trying a brown butter cookie. I was a little worried, as it didn't seem like the butter and sugars were creaming. Patience! It just took a few minutes longer for the dough to come together.
This recipe is going on the front of my cookbook!
I am so glad to hear you enjoyed them Ginny! Thank you so much for the kind feedback :)
