Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1¼ cups brown sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups chocolate chips

Method

STEP 1: BROWN THE BUTTER

  • First, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, keep stirring as it foams, then watch it turn golden brown with a nutty aroma.
  • Immediately, pour the butter into a heatproof bowl to stop the cooking process.
  • Next, place it in the fridge for about 45 minutes until it solidifies.

STEP 2: MIX DRY INGREDIENTS

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Then, set the mixture aside.

STEP 3: MAKE THE DOUGH

  • Once the browned butter is firm, remove it from the fridge.
  • Next, in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • After that, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Then, mix in the vanilla until fully combined.
  • Afterwards, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Subsequently, reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
  • Next, add the chocolate chips and mix on low just until incorporated.
  • Finally, chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.

STEP 4: PREP FOR BAKING

  • First, preheat the oven to 176°C (350°F).
  • Then, line baking sheets with parchment paper.

STEP 5: SHAPE THE COOKIES

  • To begin with, use a 2-ounce scoop (about 2 tbsp) to portion the dough.
  • Next, place the dough balls on the tray, spacing them 3 inches apart.
  • Then, lightly press each dough ball with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly.

STEP 6: BAKE

  • Afterwards, bake for 13–15 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown on the edges.
  • Once baked, let them cool on the tray for 10 minutes.
  • Finally, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

OPTIONAL

For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a drizzle of cream foam.
