Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Cook butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk continually until the butter turns a nice brown color and smells of a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Pour butter into the bowl to be used for mixing ingredients. Let cool for 30 minutes.
  • Add white sugar and brown sugar to the brown butter. Mix and cream together.
  • Add flour, salt, and baking soda to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until the texture becomes crumbly.
  • Add eggs and vanilla to the mixture. Mix together until it forms a dough.
  • Add chocolate chips to the dough. Mix only long enough to incorporate all the chocolate chips.
  • Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate dough for 2-3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place parchment or silicone baking mat on baking sheet.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop to create cookie dough balls. Place cookie dough balls on the baking sheet and parchment a few inches apart.
  • Bake for 12-13 minutes.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This cookie dough can be store in the refrigerator up to 48 hours.
  • This cookie dough does great in the freezer. Use the medium cookie scoop and place the dough balls on a cookie sheet close together. Make certain they aren't touching or else it will be difficult to separate. Place pan in freezer for 1 hour. Then place cookie dough balls in freezer safe container up to 3 months.
  • Store baked cookies in airtight container for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
