Quick and Easy Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (213g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup (99g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (270g) King Arthur All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups (255g) semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir frequently until the butter turns golden brown and starts to smell nutty—about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Mix the Sugars and Vanilla: In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well blended. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the King Arthur All-Purpose Flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Wrap It Up Nicely: Once cooled, place the cookies in a decorative box or wrap them in a cute gift bag with a handwritten note of appreciation. Your favorite teacher is sure to feel the love!
