Delicious bourbon browned butter chocolate chip cookies recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter.
  2. Stir continuously until it melts completely and begins to foam.
  3. Continue stirring until it turns a lovely golden brown color and smells nutty—about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  6. Pour in the warm browned butter and mix well using a whisk until fully combined.
  7. Crack in 1 large egg and 1 egg yolk into your mixture along with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. Whisk vigorously until everything is well mixed and smooth.
  9. In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of sea salt.
  10. Gradually fold this dry mixture into your wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined—don’t overmix!
  11. Gently fold in 1 cup chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout your cookie dough.
  12. Cover your bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  13. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  14. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  15. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
  16. Bake in preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers still look soft.
  17. Serve these cookies warm from the oven or allow them to cool completely on wire racks before indulging.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from becoming stale.

Reheat for 10-15 seconds in the microwave for a warm, gooey treat.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.

Brown the butter slowly for deeper flavor and richer aroma in your cookies.
