Chewy, ooey gooey cookies made extra flavorful with nutty browned butter — a decadent twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped chocolate chunks (optional)
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mix browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips and chunks.
  6. Cover dough and chill for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) for extra gooey texture.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place on prepared baking sheets, leaving space between cookies.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are soft.
  10. Sprinkle warm cookies with flaky sea salt if desired. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough helps create a thicker, chewier cookie.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for extra ooey gooey pockets.
  • Watch the butter carefully while browning to prevent burning.
