To begin, you'll need to gather all your supplies. You will need:


  • butter
  • light brown sugar
  • white sugar
  • eggs
  • vanilla extract
  • all purpose flour
  • baking soda
  • salt
  • semi-sweet chocolate chips 

Brown Butter Time

For this step, you will get a small pot on low heat and cut one and a half sticks of butter into chunks to put into the pot. You can keep your eye on this pot until the butter is golden brown, roughly seven minutes on low heat.

Combine Sugar

After your butter is browned, allow it to cool for around five minutes then pour it into a large bowl. Add to your bowl:

  • 1 cup of light brown sugar
  • 1/4 white sugar

Mix this until just combined

Time to Get Eggy

In this step, you may find yourself making a bit of a mess, but that will enhance the flavor of the cookies, no doubt. Add into your bowl:

  • 1 & 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of salt

Mix these until just combined

Snack Time

In this step, it is crucial to the outcome of your cookies to eat a few chocolate chips- or a handful. Add in two cups of chocolate chips (chocolate chunks work too) and mix until combined. You'll then scoop the dough into two ounce balls and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Time to Chill
