Step-by-Step Instructions for Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it starts to foam and turns amber.
  3. Transfer brown butter to a bowl and whisk in dark brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Add large eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly, and stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt before folding it into the wet ingredients until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  7. Drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, looking for golden brown edges and soft centers just set.
  9. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
