Soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, these chewy chocolate chip cookies are full of texture. These cookies are made with brown butter, which totally elevates this cookie.
Ingredients
1cup unsalted butter
2¼cups all-purpose flour
1tsp baking soda
1/2tsp baking powder
1/2tsp salt
1¼cup brown sugar, packed
1/4cup granulated sugar
1tbsp vanilla extract
2 eggs, room temperature
1¾cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
Instructions
1
In a small pan over medium heat, begin melting butter. When butter completely melts, continue to cook until mixture becomes bubbly and starts browning. Be sure to mix occasionally to prevent any sticking. It will start becoming foamy and you will begin smelling a nutty aroma. This will take about 5-6 minutes--keep a close eye! Once you get to this point, transfer butter to a heat proof mixing bowl and let cool for about 10-15 minutes.
2
While butter is cooling, in a separate bowl stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3
Once butter has cooled slightly and is now warm, add both brown sugar and granulated sugar to the bowl with butter. Whisk this mixture until well combined, about 2 minutes.
4
Add eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition. Add vanilla and mix until combined. Do not overmix.
5
Now, gradually add dry ingredients into wet ingredients, mixing to combine. Once flour mixture is almost completely combined, fold in the chocolate chips. You do not want to overmix. The key is to mix or fold until everything is JUST combined.
6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
7
Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Scoop 3 tbsp of cookie dough (cookie scoop makes it easier) onto parchment paper, leaving 2 inches of space between each dough ball. If your tray isn't big enough, bake cookies in batches (cover remaining dough and place back in fridge until ready to bake next batch).
8
Place tray in preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. You will see the cookies become a golden colour all around; the center will not be completely set. At this point, remove tray from oven and let cookies rest for 5-10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a baking rack and let cool completely. If working in batches, you can now bake your next batch of cookies following the instructions above.
