Infused with the rich, nutty flavor of browned butter, semisweet chocolate, and flaky sea salt, these brown butter chocolate chip cookies are positively gourmet. Recipe includes a how-to video!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (cut into Tablespoon-sized pieces)
  • 1 cup light or dark brown sugar¹
  • ⅔ cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 10 oz semisweet chocolate² (see note)
  • flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional but so good!)

Directions

  1. 1

    Place butter in a medium-sized saucepan (preferably a light colored one--this will make it easier to tell once your butter has browned) and melt the butter over low/medium-low heat. 

  2. 2

    Once your butter has cooled, add sugars and stir well.
