    The key to making these browned butter chocolate chip cookies is in the butter. You brown it lightly in a pan. You have to watch it carefully for butter can go from brown to burnt in the blink of an eye. You\u2019ll then make the dough and you\u2019ll have to patiently await it to chill in the fridge for that\u2019s the secret to making the best, most dense and delightful cookies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What is brown butter?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Quite simply, brown butter is butter that is cooked gently over the stove. It melts and takes on a more brownish hue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Do you stir brown butter?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Yes, much like gravy, you\u2019ve got to keep your eyes on the prize with brown butter. Stirring it helps it cook more evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Should<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How do you know if your brown butter is burnt?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    It will be too dark and have burnt bits in it. As long as it\u2019s still nutty, you can save it by straining out the burnt parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Should you brown butter for cookies?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In many cases, yes. You have to try it at least once. And once you do, I\u2019m pretty sure you\u2019ll be finding an excuse to brown butter for everything (I know I have).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How to make Soft and Chewy (gooey!) Chocolate Chip Cookies <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Gooey. That\u2019s a horrible word unless you\u2019re talking about cookies. And since we are, these browned butter chocolate chip cookies are that perfect kind of gooey you need in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"Brown<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This recipe takes the old original Toll House chocolate chip cookie recipe and gives it a much needed update! With this recipe, you\u2019ll notice I\u2019ve included more brown sugar vs white sugar. This leaves you with a softer, moister cookie to enjoy. And that extra egg yolk creates a wonderful chewiness. Please, restrain yourself from eating them all in one sitting. These are difficult to resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Substitution<\/em>: if you like a more caramel-y taste substitute dark<\/em> brown sugar for the brown sugar. Dark brown sugar has more molasses in it and has a richer taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you are gluten-free, you can use gluten free flour but it will absolutely change the texture of the recipe. I know texture comes down to personal preference but please be advised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How Long to Bake Browned Butter Cookies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
