Brown butter makes everything better! This is my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe because it is simply the best. They’re so crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. The nutty/caramel flavor of brown butter is so distinct, you’ll never go back to using regular butter. I also used a mixture of milk chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks, with the chocolatey flavor enhanced by adding espresso powder! This recipe makes a huge batch but you can freeze the dough and make fresh chocolate cookies anytime!

Instructions

Step 1

Cream your brown butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add your espresso, vanilla, and eggs. Mix until just combined, do not over beat.

Step 2

Sift in your flour, leavening agents, and salt. Mix until just combined. Fold in your chocolate chips and your chopped chocolate chunks.

Step 3

Refrigerate your dough for 30 minutes so that it firms up. Scoop 1/4 cup sized balls on parchment paper and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Step 4

If baking right away: preheat your oven to 325f degrees. Place the frozen cookie dough on a baking sheet, giving them each at least 2 inch of space as they spread. Bake for about 16-18 minutes.

Step 5

If storing: place the frozen cookie dough balls in a ziplock bag. The longer they stay frozen, the better they come out. No need to thaw when baking, just bake the frozen cookie dough in a preheated oven at 325f for about 16-18 minutes.
