Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup (8 oz) unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup raw cane sugar
1 large egg + large egg yolk
2 tsp pure vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1. First, brown the butter. Place the butter on a skillet over medium heat. Let the butter melt, stirring constantly. After the butter has melted, bring to a simmer and cook until it turns a beautiful brown color and you can smell a toasted aroma. It will take around 8-10 minutes. Let it cool to room temperature.
2. Transfer the butter to a large bowl, add sugars and beat using an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla and beat for another 2 minutes until creamy.
3. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl stir flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add half of a dry mixture at a time and mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
4. Cover with wax paper and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours or the best results. If short on time bake right away. If refrigerating, bring to a room temperature for easier scooping.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with If You Care parchment paper.
6. Scoop cookie dough using 2 tbsp cookie scoop onto a baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are browned. Let them cool for 5 minutes and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool completely. Once the cookies cool down, they flatten and become crispier on the edges and chewier in the middle. Enjoy!
