How To Make Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with a silpat liner or parchment paper.
- Place butter into a small saucepan over medium heat. Swirl and heat until deep golden brown. Remove heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Place browned butter and little bits from the pan into a stand mixer along with the brown and granulated sugar. Beat to combine then add egg and vanilla beating to combine. Add ap flour, cake flour, pudding mix, baking soda, corn starch, salt and chocolate chips. Mix on low until just combined.
- With a medium cookie scoop, place dough onto prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of fleur de sel sea salt and bake for 10 minutes, until baked through. Remove and let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Serve and enjoy.
Time to brown the butter. Melt it over medium heat swirling often until it turns a gorgeous deep golden brown. You’ll see brown bits at the bottom of the pan. That’s a good thing.
How To Brown Buter
- Place butter in small saucepan over medium-low heat. Swirl and melt completely. Butter will boil. Continue to swirl and cook until butter turns golden brown and brown bits start forming on bottom of pan. Once butter has a nutty scent and is deep golden brown, remove from heat and transfer to a heat proof bowl. Make sure you spoon out all little black bits from the saucepan. Let brown butter cool at least 15 minutes before using in a cookie recipe.
Let the butter cool for 5 minutes then beat it with your sugars, egg and vanilla.
Dry ingredients please.
Dark chocolate chips!
I will not admit how much dough I consumed.
Scoop onto your baking sheet.
This fleur de sel sea salt is amazing if you can find it. If not, kosher salt will do the trick too 🙂
Just a tiny pinch of sea salt on top.
If you like your cookies a bit more flat, press the dough down with your hand before baking. I was in the mood for a thick round cookie today.

So. Its snowing and 3 degrees in NE Wyoming. I want to try this Brown Butter Dark Chocolate Chip recipe. It sounds decadent! I live 25 miles from ANYTHING…so when I gathered my ingredients, I had to get a little creative. No running to town because I only had one cup of regular chips…so I chopped up some dark ‘bark’ chocolate. No vanilla pudding either. BOO! Added two tablespoons of dried cultured buttermilk, an extra egg yolk, doubled the vanilla, 1/2 a packet of unflavored gelatin powder, and crossed my fingers. Lastly, no koscher or sea salt. I don’t even know if I can GET sea salt in town. I just used regular salt…even to add a pinch on top of each cookie. How’d they turn out? Ummmm….I don’t think I’ve EVER tasted a chocolate chip cookie as decadent, flavorful and sinful! Thanks for the great instructions! Very detailed and easy to follow. ♥
I don’t understand the vanilla pudding. Why not use vanilla extract?
