Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe🍪
Tried this chocolate chip cookie recipe and it is awesome. The recipe doesn’t call for browning the butter but tried it and what a difference it makes. It’s included in the recipe…
¾ cup butter, brown the butter for 5-8 minutes. As soon as you start to see a little bit of brown, take it off the burner¾ cup granulated sugar1 egg1 tablespoon vanilla extract1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour½ teaspoon salt¾ teaspoon baking soda½ cup chocolate chipsPreheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit and line baking sheet with parchment paperIn a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set asideIn a bowl combine browned butter and sugar mixing until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes)Add in egg and vanilla extract, and beat until just combined (do not over-mix)Mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Cool the dough in the refrigerator before adding chocolate chips or add the chips immediately for a swirly look to the cookiesMake 1.5 tablespoon sized balls and place them on the baking sheet (you can place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before baking)Bake the cookies for 8-11 minutes. Remove from the oven when the edges look set and have just begun to darken. The cookies will be under-baked. Let them sit on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
