Brown Butter Cookies

Ingredients

Total time: 36 minutes

Instructions

1. 1

   Melt the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat, swirling often, until it smells nutty and turns amber, 5–7 minutes. Pour into a bowl and cool 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.

3. 3

   Stir both sugars into the cooled brown butter, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla until glossy.

4. 4

   Fold in the dry ingredients, then the chocolate. Rest the dough 20 minutes so it firms up.

5. 5

   Heat the oven to 350°F and line two sheets with parchment.

6. 6

   Scoop 2-tablespoon balls 2 inches apart and sprinkle with flaky salt.

7. 7

   Bake 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes before moving.
