Salted Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

These Salted Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are a tasty twist on the traditional chocolate chip cookie. Brown butter adds a rich, nutty flavor, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt elevates them to the next level.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1 tsp sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
For sprinkling, use flaky sea salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg yolk

Time Needed

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 32 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Use parchment paper to line baking sheets.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Cook, swirling occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty.
Remove from the heat and set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
Combine the cooled brown butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl.
Blend in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients gradually, mixing until just combined.
Add the chocolate chips and mix well.
Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each ball.
12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centres are set, bake.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
