Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Although I’m sharing a recipe for Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, yet I want to say something that may make you think “What’s wrong with her today?” but I’ll say it anyway. I feel that all chocolate chip cookies tastes almost the same! The texture and size might change but the taste, not really.
Before you judge me, I want to say that I love chocolate chip cookies, I do! However, I also have tried many recipes, and bought many chocolate chip cookies form the stores, and I can’t see much difference in taste.
Browning the butter did bring some difference in taste, the browned butter have added a very light nutty flavor, which I loved.
These Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, are crunchy at the edges, but chewy in the middle. If you want the cookies to be chewier, bake them for 9 minutes, otherwise follow the recipe for crispy edges.

Browned butter is such an interesting ingredient, I never saw it added to the cookies! It surely must make these cookies taste unique, to stand out from all the other chocolate chip cookies 🙂 You cookies look delicious!

Hey Shelby, I think you will love it, it tastes different than the usual chocolate chip cookie dough!
I’ve never done anything brown butter before… well, except when I make pancakes, and the butter eventually turned brown. :p But this sounds like something I’d love to try! Yummy chocolate cookies.
LOL! I brown the butter that way too 🙂
These cookies look absolutely delicious! I love brown butter cookies!
