Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, combine browned butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar, mixing until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla.
- Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Cover and chill dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Scoop dough onto lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers remain soft.
- Cool on tray for 5 minutes before transferring.
Notes
- For extra chewiness, slightly underbake and let cookies rest on the tray.
- Substitute dark chocolate chips for a less sweet option.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
