The ultimate chocolate chip cookie recipe made with brown butter, a perfect blend of sugars, and three types of chocolate chips. Soft and chewy in the center, crisp at the edges, and incredibly flavorful. No chilling required – just mix, bake, and enjoy!
Ingredients
- 14 tablespoons 196 g salted butter
- 2 ½ cups 300 g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons 237 g packed dark brown sugar
- ½ cup 99 g granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup bittersweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Brown the butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat until it browns lightly (about 2 minutes). Pour into a heatproof bowl and refrigerate until it returns to room temperature (about 1 hour).
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a stand mixer bowl, beat the brown butter and both sugars for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
- Fold in the dry ingredients using a wooden spoon, then mix in all the chocolate chips.
- Form large cookie dough balls (about 3 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 11 minutes, or until golden at the edges and soft in the center. Let cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
