These Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies combine classic flavors with a rich twist, giving you soft, chocolatey bites that melt in your mouth. Whether you’re baking for a crowd or keeping them for yourself, you’ll love the extra flavor from.
Melt all but two tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the butter foams and turns a deep golden brown with a nutty aroma.
Remove from heat. Whisk the remaining butter into the hot brown butter until melted. Let the brown butter cool to room temperature. About 10-15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375º Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
Combine the cooled brown butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a separate large bowl. Mix until well blended, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg, extra yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, then add the sour cream.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks and milk chocolate chips.
Scoop the dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375º Fahrenheit, until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
OPTIONAL
Sprinkle flaky salt on top of the warm cookies for an optional extra touch of flavor.
