Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup all-purpose flour Make sure to spoon and level it for accurate measurement.
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar Packed for maximum sweetness.
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar Use fine sugar for the best texture.
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter Brown the butter for that nutty flavor.
  • 1 large egg Room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Pure extract will give the best results.
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda Make sure it’s fresh for proper rising.
  • 0.5 tsp salt Enhances the cookie flavor.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Semi-sweet is a fantastic choice.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, swirling it occasionally until it turns a beautiful golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled brown butter, both sugars, and mix until well combined. Then, add the egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look soft but will firm up while cooling.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious cookies!
