Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups butter (280 grams)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 grams)
- 1 cup brown sugar (200 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups flour (357 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 to 2 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (360–480 grams)
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a medium-large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter while stirring constantly until it reaches a deep honey color. Remove from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl. Cool until solid but not hard.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 375°F (190°C) and prepare baking sheets with cooking spray or silicone mats.
- Mix Ingredients: Once the butter has cooled, cream together the brown butter and both sugars for about one minute. Add eggs and vanilla; mix until pale and fluffy for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gently mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips evenly.
- Shape & Bake: Form dough into balls (about 1/4 cup each) and place on baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden around the edges. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
