Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c butter, browned (3 sticks)
  • 1 c granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 c dark brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 T vanilla
  • 4 c all-purpose flour
  • 2 t baking soda
  • 1 pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Browned butter

  • Place 3 sticks of butter in small light-bottomed saucepan. Melt over low heat.
  • As the butter foams, whisk gently; the milk solids will begin to separate.
  • Continue to whisk and as soon as you see it obtain a caramel color, remove from the heat and pour it into a glass measuring cup or bowl along with the browned bits. This halts the cooking process. Allow it to cool before using in the recipe.

Cookies

  • Combine the sugars with the cooled browned butter.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla.
  • Gradually mix in the flour and baking soda.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips throughout the batter.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop, drop dough about 2 inches apart onto a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12 minutes at 375°F.
  • Allow cookies to set for a couple minutes on the pan, then remove them to a cooling rack.
  • Enjoy!-This will make at least 6 dozen cookies.
