Ingredients

• 227 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 150 grams light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 300 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until browned bits form at the bottom of the pan and the butter smells nutty. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the browned butter to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and browned butter. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Beat until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. Chilling helps enhance the flavor and ensures the cookies bake up with a chewy texture.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 9

Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough and roll into balls. Place them on the baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart as they will spread while baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. The cookies will continue to set as they cool.

Step 11

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy! These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
