Decadent Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, browned
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk powder
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Browning the Butter:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns a golden brown color and develops a nutty aroma, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning. Let it cool to room temperature.

2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and milk powder. Set aside.

3. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

4. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, combine the cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat until well combined and fluffy, approximately 2–3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Combine Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough forms. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender cookies.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring even distribution.

6. Shape Cookies:
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

7. Bake:
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, and the centers are set but still soft.

8. Cooling:
- Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
