Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

🔥 Directions (Summarized)

1. Brown the Butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden and nutty. Let it cool for 10–15 minutes.
2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix browned butter, sugars, egg + yolk, and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients until a dough forms. Add milk and chocolate chips.
3. Chill Time: Cover the dough and chill for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
4. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Scoop dough (about 2 Tbsp each), place on a lined baking sheet, and bake for 11–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers are soft.
5. Cool Slightly: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

💡 Tips

• Don’t skip chilling — it’s what gives these cookies their chewy centers and golden edges.
• Press a few extra chocolate chips on top before baking for that bakery-style look.
• If using nuts, toast them first for even more flavor.
