Follow The Directions

01

Step
6 mins

Brown the Butter: Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and cover loosely with parchment paper. To prevent splattering, place a microwave-safe plate on top. Microwave for 5 minutes. Check butter; if it's not yet golden brown with a nutty aroma, continue microwaving in 30-second intervals (30-90 seconds total), until perfectly browned. (Total time: ~6-7 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. (Time: ~2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, beat the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until well combined. (Time: ~3 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Incorporate and Chill: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips. Place dough in an airtight container, cover, and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or up to 24 hours. (Time: ~5 minutes)

05

Step
10 mins

Preheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Time: ~10 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Scoop and Bake: Scoop cookie dough with a medium-sized cookie scoop and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between cookies. (Time: ~5 minutes)

07

Step
14 mins

Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on the edges, 13 to 15 minutes. (Time: ~13-15 minutes)

08

Step
10 mins

Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (Time: ~10 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or a combination of milk and dark chocolate.
Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too thin and developing the perfect chewy texture.
Don't overbake! The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you remove them from the oven.
If you don't have time to chill the dough for 4 hours, you can freeze it for 30 minutes to achieve a similar result.
