Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Let’s talk about brown butter chocolate chip cookies… I love a good chocolate chip cookie.

Uh, who doesn’t?

I definitely have to be in the mood for a good chocolate chip cookie though, and that usually happens mayyyybe twice a year? This is one of the “flaws” my husband thinks I have.

One of Gordon’s flaws? He hates to dance.

There. We’re even.

ANYWAYS….

Being a person who blogs about food and recipes for a living, I’m consistently trying and testing out new recipes for all sorts of things, chocolate chip cookies included.

So, when I got Shelly‘s cookbook in the mail last week, the first recipe that spoke to me was the beautiful chocolate chip cookies on the cover:

Doesn’t that make you want to make a huge batch of cookies and stuff them into a jar?

Thought so.

So, after thumbing through the entire cookbook with my 7-year old daughter and tagging every other recipe {courtesy of Brooke’s sweet tooth}, we found the recipe from the cover: Salty Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies.

They’re not just CCC’s. They’re BBCCC’s.

You’re welcome for that little abbreviation.

So, after Brooke went to school yesterday morning, I went to work in making this recipe for breakfast. Then I realized we were fresh out of eggs. We had hard-boiled Easter eggs aplenty, but just no raw ones. So off Gordon flew to the grocery store and I just hung out with Eddie and changed out of my pajamas. #lifegoals

Then he came back and I finished making these wonderful and delicious cookies.

I’ve decided that cookie dough is very photogenic…hence the two photos all up in your face.

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, then bring to boil. Once it starts boiling, swirl the pan constantly until the butter passes the foamy phase and becomes a deep amber color. Remove from heat and pour into a large mixing bowl. Cool 20 minutes.
  2. While butter is cooling, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir dry ingredients together to combine.
  4. Add sugars, eggs and vanilla to cooled butter and stir to combine. Pour flour mixture to butter mixture and stir until dough comes together. Add in chocolate chips and stir again briefly to incorporate.
  5. Using a medium 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, drop the dough 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
  6. Cool cookies 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to cooling rack. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

  12. I used to make cookies of all kind All The Time! But I’ve cut back big time. But Sunday evening, I needed cookies because I was feeling down… (we were expecting, but at the ultrasound we found out the baby didn’t make it). I made my 11 yr old daughter make some CCC’s from her Disney Princess cookbook and then my sister in law brought us dinner and more chocolate chip cookies and I’ve got cookies galore in my house and I’ve been enjoying one with my breakfast every morning, lol! But I love that this has brown butter in them. Mmm, I adore things with brown butter. It makes me weak in the knees and comforts my broken heart.

  14. I am afraid I won’t be able to stop after eating reasonable amount of cookies. First I need to wait for an occasion for making them as a present or something similar. Otherwise this cookies are too dangerous 😉

  18. Tried these today after finding this recipe as we are having company Sunday. The dough was very crumbly after mixing it in the mixer. I had to squeeze each cookie in my hand to make it stick together and then carfully shape them into a round shape on the pan. I couldn’t just use a cookie scoop and scoop them onto the pan or they would just crumble apart. Not like other cookie dough I’ve made. Not sure if I did something wrong or what?
