Yessss — Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies 🍪✨ are the moment. Golden edges, gooey centers, rich caramel notes from that toasty brown butter… they’re the kind of cookies that people bite into and immediately say, “Wait, what’s in this??” (It’s love. And science. And brown butter.) 🔥🍫
🍪 Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (for browning)
- 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 oz dark chocolate, chopped into chunks 🍫 (or use chips if that’s your jam)
- Flaky sea salt for topping (optional but elite)
Instructions:
- Brown the butter:
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and let it cook until golden, nutty, and smelling ✨heavenly✨ (about 5–7 mins). Stir constantly. Cool slightly. - Mix wet ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk brown butter with sugars. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and glossy. - Add dry ingredients:
Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chunks. - Chill (you and the dough):
Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 30 mins (or up to 24 hours for max flavor). - Bake:
Scoop onto a parchment-lined tray (leave space for spreading) and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 mins — edges golden, center still soft. - Sprinkle with flaky salt while warm (trust me).
Serving Vibe:
Warm from the oven, slightly melty, eaten with your fingers while standing in the kitchen barefoot. You could share them… or not. 🍪👀
