In a heavy-bottomed medium skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat, stirring nearly continuously or swirling pan. Butter will melt, foam, turn clear, golden, turn brown, and will then smell nutty.

As soon at the butter begins to turn brown, take the pan off the heat, and continue to stir for about 1 minute, to ensure carryover heat doesn't continue to cook and subsequently burn the already browned butter.

Distribute dough equally among the 12 muffin pan cavities; each will approximately be filled to between two-thirds and three-quarters full. The cookies don't rise much (nothing like muffins) so it's okay if dough seems high in the cavities.

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or just until tops have set and are golden, taking care not to overbake because they will firm up more as they cool.

Allow cookies to cool in pan for at least 20 minutes before removing them. If they have stuck to the pan, gently wedge the tip of a soft spatula into the muffin cavity to dislodge the cookies, rather than rimming with a table knife so you don't scratch your pan. Serve immediately.

Browned Butter -- How to Brown Butter

Favorite Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies! Browned butter and brown sugar caramelly goodness, crispy edges, barely thick and soft centers, and melty little puddles of chocolate chips.

unsalted butter (2 sticks)

white sugar

brown sugar

vanilla

eggs

baking powder

salt

chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

Brown the butter

Cut the butter into small pieces for even melting. Melt the butter in a wide stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan a few times as the butter melts. It will get bubbly and then foamy &#8211; use a heat-proof spatula to scrape the butter across the bottom of the pan to prevent burning. You&#8217;ll see the butter start to turn golden brown very quickly, and you&#8217;ll be able to smell it (yum). When it is a nice golden brown color, remove from heat and transfer to a cool bowl or glass measuring cup, being careful not to burn it. The whole process should take about 5 minutes. Let the butter cool for another 5-10 minutes while you measure and prep everything else.

Add the eggs and beat for 1-2 minutes until shiny and smooth. 

Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Step 3

Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined into a dense, shiny dough. Let the dough cool for 15-20 minutes (if you add the chocolate chips now, they will melt).

Mix in the chocolate chips or chunks (sometimes it helps to do this by hand). Let the dough rest for another 20-30 minutes. This helps hydrate the flour and carry the browned butter flavor farther in the cookies.

Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Step 5

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll or scoop your cookie dough into 3-tablespoon balls onto a baking sheet. Bake for 9 minutes, until the edges look cooked but the middles are still slightly soft and puffy. 

Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Step 6

Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest for 15-20 minutes. I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW this is very hard. But as they rest, the middles are going to sink down and kind of densify the middle, so you get that crispy exterior with the barely-thick, underbaked center.

Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Step 7

These cookies were absolutely wonderful! Very very tasty.  I could almost bake the dough without the chocolate chips! I would only suggest putting the dough in fridge for about 10 minutes before baking, because my cookies seem to have spread quite a bit while baking. I chilled the second batch and they fared much better with keeping the uniform shape.

Delicious! My usual go to cookies are your chocolate chip cookies so I figured I needed to try these and they are AMAZING! There is definitely something a little different about them that makes them stand out from other cookies. The perfect ratio for inner gooeyness and outer crunch!

YUM! I think what I've always done wrong is take the cookies out when they looked cooked. The key here is taking out at exactly 9 minutes and underdone and let them sit. The browned butter is a delicious touch too.

I’m definitely a passionate brown butter advocate! How can you not like these?

I concluded through rigorous cookie testing (I ate a lot of cookies and definitely not complaining haha) that I preferred normal butter for the ultimate cookie. The brown butter makes flatter cookies. Not saying it’s worse, just more my preference. 

Still, I’ll eat a brown butter cookie any day of the week and I’d definitely love to try these!

Stay safe out there!

I made these last night and they are by far the best cookies I’ve ever made!!! I froze a bunch of cookie dough balls to bake later- how do you recommend adjusting the bake time from frozen? Thank you!!
