Sharing one of my favorite salted chocolate chip cookies today! My Brown Butter Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie For One is just what you need when you don’t feel like making a whole batch of cookies.
Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have a thing with making “recipes for one,” they are so fun when you really just feel like making yourself a darn cookie or even when you need to perk up a friends’ day. Place the cookie in a cellophane bag, wrap in a bow and your good to go! All you need are a few staple pantry ingredients, one bowl and a saucepan to brown some butter.

Here’s the process of browning butter. Please note, you only need 2 tablespoons for this recipe! This is just a visual 🙂 2 tablespoons only take about 3 minutes to brown, it happens very quick.
How To Brown Butter
- Place butter into a small saucepan over medium heat. Swirl and cook butter until browned, takes 3-5 minutes. Once you see brown bits on the bottom of the saucepan, butter is browned. It will be a golden brown color. Remove from heat. Make sure to let the butter cool for 5 minutes before adding to other ingredients.
How To Make Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies
