Classic Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

My go-to recipe for classic, chewy chocolate chip cookies. Crispy on the edges, chewy and gooey inside.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup brown butter (1 stick, melted, browned)

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)

  • 1/2 cup white sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate

Directions

To Prepare the Dough:

  • Melt butter on the stove until bubbling and browned. Cool in the bowl of a stand mixer.

  • Add brown sugar and white sugar and mix to dissolve.

  • Mix in the egg and vanilla extract (make sure the butter is cooled).

  • Add flour, baking soda, and salt.

  • Fold in chocolate chips (or chunks). For even more toffee-like flavor, chill for at least 24 hours.

To Bake:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 2 tbps of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving at least 4 in. of space between the cookies (these cookies will spread!).

  • Bake for about 11 mins.

  • Remove from oven and cool directly on the sheet. The cookies will continue cooking, revealing a delicate cracked crumb top and crispy golden edges.
