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.

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