Let’s get started with the ingredients you will need:

How to Make Brown Butter Cookies in Easy Steps

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chunks

Instructions:

  1. Begin by browning the butter. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir it constantly to prevent burning until it becomes golden brown and has a nutty aroma. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Beat until creamy and smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
  7. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to enhance the flavor and prevent spreading while baking.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  9. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to bake on the sheet after removing from the oven.
  11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

And there you have it! The Best Ever Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies, fresh from your oven. Perfect with a glass of milk or as a treat to share with friends and family. Enjoy the delightful flavors and let every bite take you to cookie heaven!
