Brown Butter Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies

Please excuse my humble brag, but I honestly think these are the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve made yet! They are super soft and buttery, loaded with rich chocolate chunks AND sprinkled with delicious sea salt. To say this easy chocolate chip cookie recipe is amazing would be an understatement! OK, humble brag over. But seriously, I am just so excited to share my brown butter chocolate chip cookie recipe with you today! I made these just like my Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie, but instead of having one giant cookie, I portioned the dough out into 18 individual cookies and loaded it with chocolate chunks and sea salt. These mouthwatering brown butter sea salt chocolate chip cookies take just 40 minutes to bake and turn out PERFECTLY — firm around the edges and wonderfully gooey with melted chocolate in the center. And trust me on the extra step of browning the butter, it really is the secret to success with this recipe. While melted butter adds extra chewiness, the extra step of browning adds a delightful toffee flavor.

Ingredients

Unsalted butter: Brown butter is the star of this cookie! If you have never browned butter before you are in for a treat! It adds a wonderful nuttiness to the cookie that takes it over the edge! Sugar: I like to do a combination of granulated sugar and light brown sugar. The brown sugar adds extra softness and a hint of molasses to the cookies. Make sure your brown sugar is soft! Eggs: Add structure, fat and moisture to the dough. I like to bring my eggs to room temperature before adding them into the dough. Vanilla extract: For flavor! I use a full tablespoon of vanilla! All purpose flour: Is added. Feel free to substitute 1:1 gluten free flour to make this recipe gluten free. Salt: Brings out all of the flavors! Love the sweet and salty combo! Baking soda: Gives the cookies the lift they need. Cornstarch: Is my secret ingredient for making these cookies super soft and chewy! Chocolate Chunks: You can use whatever chocolate chips you have on hand! Dark chocolate chips, semi or sweet would all work! Coarse sea salt: For sprinkling on top, to taste
