- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Brown the butter: Melt the butter in a medium sized pan over medium heat. Once it melts, it will crackle, then become foamy – continue mixing the butter while this happens to prevent burning. The butter will go from melted to golden brown quickly, and you’ll know it’s almost done when the aroma of browned butter arrives. The whole process should take about 5 minutes! Once golden, remove from heat and transfer to a glass bowl to cool as you measure out the rest of your ingredients. (Cool at least 15 minutes).
- In a large bowl, whisk cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Add in vanilla and egg. Whisk until smooth.1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1 egg, 1 tbsp vanilla
