Chocolate Chip Cookies

These chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat for anyone craving something sweet. Soft, chewy, and packed with melty chocolate.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 28 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (168 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200 g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cup (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt + more flaky sea salt for sprinkling
  • 1 1/2 cups (255 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate

Instructions

  1. Start by placing the butter in a small saucepan. Heat it over medium-low heat. Stir and scrape the butter from the bottom and sides of the pan every 10 to 15 seconds.
  2. As it heats, the butter will melt and foam, then start to turn golden brown and smell nutty. Watch closely for small brown bits to form, about 5 to 7 minutes. Once it’s golden brown, take it off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a spatula.
  4. Add the egg, extra egg yolk, and vanilla. Mix well until combined.
  5. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix gently until no white flour remains, being careful not to overmix. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour (up to overnight).
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Take the dough out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature until scoopable, about 20 minutes.
  9. Use a 1 ½ ounce cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.
  10. Bake the cookies for 12 to 13 minutes, until they are lightly golden brown around the edges but still soft in the middle.
  11. Once done, sprinkle with flaky sea salt (if desired) and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes

Serve warm with a glass of milk or alongside ice cream. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
