WHY ARE THESE THE BEST BROWN BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES?

Listen - I know there are hundreds, if not thousands, of recipes claiming to be the best, so I understand your skepticism. But here's my case for why I believe these brown butter chocolate chip cookies are, in fact, the best ever:

  • The perfect texture: These cookies check all the boxes when it comes to their texture. They are crispy on the edges, thick, gooey and chewy in the middle, and oozing with chocolate
  • Mind-blowing flavor: These cookies taste expensive and luxurious, not cheap and sweet. The brown butter adds a lovely nutty flavor to them, the small amount of coffee gives them an amazing depth, the sugar quantity is just right, and the chocolate flavor shines through
  • An easy, no-fuss recipe: This recipe is as good as it gets. No need for a mixer, no need to "cream" butter and sugar (I know we all hate doing that). I've tried different methods and created a recipe that you won't dread making!

Don't believe me? Check out just a few of the reviews I've received on these cookies:

I made them...we ate them...I must make more of them! These are the best cookies I have ever made so thank you for sharing! Ooey, gooey, chewy, chocolatey - so sinful and perfect!

@crazelade


Tried this today.. and i must say., this is the best chocolate chip cookies recipe that i baked that i will eat the entire thing..

ovenlymadebykc

I made these and they were awesome, so many creators on this app claim to have the best but these were the best I’ve tried.

@whatmelydid

Oh my god! This was soooo good.. I usually cream the butter and white sugar, but here the caramelization with brown sugar took the cookies to a whole new level!
Definitely sticking to this recipe going forward

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS RECIPE?

This recipe is the result of multiple trials, several batches of "okay" cookies, and lots of late night brain storming. I've even made minor improvements after initially publishing it, although it was already widely loved.

There are three things that set this recipe apart from others:

  1. A unique method of "caramelizing" the sugars in the butter. You melt and brown the butter in a pan, then add the sugars to the same pan and whisk for just 2 minutes on the lowest heat setting. This is not enough time to actually caramelize the sugars, but the heat starts the caramelization process and adds a wonderful toffee like flavor to the cookies. Not to mention, this approach feels a lot easier and less of a hassle than bringing out a mixer and creaming butter and sugar!
  2. The perfect amount of sugar. If you've made other cookie recipes, you will notice this one has a much lower quantity of sugar, which means these cookies are not overly sweet! I have perfected the sugar amount while still retaining a wonderful texture in the cookies. The ratio of brown sugar to white is also just right to get the crispy exterior and chewy interior
  3. A hint of coffee. A small amount of instant coffee is added to the cookie dough to give it an extra depth of flavor. The cookies don't taste like coffee, though, don't worry!
  4. The right ratio of butter to flour. This recipe has a higher ratio of butter to flour than most recipes, which means the cookie dough is more soft and sticky than usual. This helps get a crispy chewy texture in the cookies as opposed to dry, crumbly or cakey

TIPS TO PERFECT THESE COOKIES

This is a very simple, fuss-free recipe, but I do have some important tips to help you get these cookies *just* right:

  • Use a weighing scale instead of measuring cups! This is especially important for flour, because most people stuff too much flour in measuring cups leading to a drier cookie dough. I highly recommend this kitchen scale which is under $10 and has lasted me 3 years
  • Don't overcook the sugars. Keep the heat on the lowest possible setting after browning the butter, and whisk the sugars in for just 1-2 minutes. The intention is to add heat to them, not to melt or caramelize them. Don't worry if they start to look lumpy or grainy, that will all get fixed when you add the egg and egg yolk
  • Use chopped chocolate instead of chocolate chips to elevate the cookies. Chocolate chips have stabilizers in them which prevent them from properly melting in the cookies. Chopped chocolate melts more, tastes better, and adds more texture because it has chunks of different sizes
  • Make sure the wet ingredients aren't hot before adding dry ingredients. Well, first let the butter and sugar cool down for ~5 minutes before you add the egg & yolk. Then make sure the wet ingredients are not hot when you add the dry ingredients and chocolate, otherwise the chocolate will melt!
  • Do not overmix when adding the dry ingredients and chocolate. Gently fold until just combined
  • Chill the cookie dough! I know you don't want to hear this but it is absolutely crucial. Chill for at least 2 hours but ideally overnight
  • Do not overbake. The cookies should be firm around the edges but soft in the middle when they come out of the oven, as they will continue to firm up from the residual heat in them. I always recommend baking one test cookie first, as baking time can vary depending on the size of the cookie, your oven, and the type of baking sheet you use

WHY IS CHILLING COOKIE DOUGH IMPORTANT?

Yes, chilling cookie dough is absolutely crucial, and no, you cannot skip it. Even if there are recipes on the internet that claim they don't need chilling time, I guarantee those cookies will also be 10 times better after chilling the cookie dough.

Chilling cookie dough in the fridge for 2+ hours does a few things:

  1. It deepens the flavor. Chilling encourages the sugars in the cookie dough to break down further, developing a deeper and more complex flavor
  2. It improves the texture. Chilling allows the flour to absorb more of the liquid content in the dough, which then helps improve the texture. Cookies that are not chilled are more cakey, dry and crumbly, while the same cookies baked after chilling are more chewy and gooey
  3. It reduces the spread, resulting in thicker cookies. This is the obvious one! Since the cookie dough will take more time to heat up in the oven, it won't spread as fast, and you will have thicker cookies

Note that you cannot speed up the chilling process by placing the cookie dough in the freezer. The freezer will just stop most reactions from occurring, so while the cookies will spread less, their flavor and texture won't necessarily be as improved. Always chill in the fridge first, then feel free to transfer to the freezer.

Here's a little video comparison to further convince you:

MY FAVORITE CHOCOLATE TO USE IN THESE COOKIES

Since I get a hundred questions a week about the chocolate I use, I am linking it for you! I go for a mix of dark and milk to get more complexity of flavor in my cookies, but you can also use semi-sweet only.

  • Valrhona Caraibe dark chocolate
  • Valrhona Jivara milk chocolate

I absolutely love this chocolate from Valrhona! It is incredible quality and tastes absolutely delicious. I often buy it in bulk and store it in massive containers in my pantry. It is also available in smaller quantities on Amazon, and in some Whole Foods!

If you don't have access to Valrhona chocolate, don't worry. Use any good quality chocolate bar you like the flavor of, like Lindt or Ghirardelli.

PROCESS WITH PHOTOS

The detailed recipe is in the recipe card below, but let's go over the steps with photos to help you visualize everything.

Melt the butter in a pan, then continue to cook and stir until it browns:

cubed unsalted butter in a saucepan
melted browned butter in a saucepan

Add the white and brown sugar, and whisk on the lowest heat for 1-2 minutes:

brown and white sugar added to brown butter in a saucepan
brown and white sugar whisked into brown butter in a saucepan

Let cool for 5 minutes, then whisk in the egg, egg yolk, coffee and vanilla until smooth and creamy:

eggs and vanilla added to butter and sugar mix in a saucepan
whisk mixing together eggs in butter and sugar in a saucepan
eggs whisked into butter and sugar mixture until smooth and caramely

Separately, sift together the dry ingredients and mix with chopped chocolate:

chopped chocolate and flour in a small glass bowl
chopped chocolate and flour mixed together in a small glass bowl

Fold the dry ingredients and chocolate into the wet ingredients in 2 batches, mixing only until combined (make sure the wet ingredients aren't hot beforehand):

dry ingredients added on top of wet ingredients to make cookie dough
half of dry ingredients folded into wet to make cookie dough
more dry ingredients added on top of wet ingredients to make cookie dough
thick and gooey brown butter cookie dough with lots of chocolate in a bowl

Scoop the dough into 10 cookie balls, and top them with more chopped chocolate. Chill in the fridge:

cookie scoop scooping a cookie ball from dough in a small bowl
10 cookie dough balls on a baking tray topped with lots of chopped chocolate

Bake the cookies once thoroughly chilled, then sprinkle with flakey sea salt and enjoy!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why did my butter and sugar mixture crystallize?

If by "crystallize" you mean the sugars look grainy, that's totally okay - the mixture will become smooth after adding the egg and egg yolk.
However, if your sugar mixture actually crystallizes or seizes up, it is likely because you cooked the mixture on high heat or for too long. Please make sure you are only cooking on the lowest heat setting for just ~1-2 minutes. We don't want to caramelize the sugar, we are just facilitating the dissolving process. If in doubt, remove the butter from heat, and then whisk in the sugars.

Can I reduce the sugar in these chocolate chip cookies?

This recipe already has a low amount of sugar, but if you need to reduce it further, you can reduce the brown sugar from ⅔ cup to ½ cup.

Why did my chocolate melt in cookie dough?

Either the mixture was too warm, or you chopped your chocolate too small. Make sure the wet ingredients aren't hot before adding the dry.

Can I use chocolate chips instead of chopped chocolate?

You can, but you won't get the luxurious, incredible cookies you're hoping for. Chocolate chips don't taste as good, and don't melt into puddles like chopped chocolate. I STRONGLY recommend using chopped chocolate.

How to tell when chocolate chip cookies are done baking?

The cookies will feel firm and set on the edges, and somewhat soft in the middle. They will set more as they cool!

Why are my chocolate chip cookies flat?

This is likely because you didn't chill the cookie dough enough. Make sure you don't skip that step. It's also possible you have made an error measuring the ingredients, or made a substitution which has changed the result.

How should I store chocolate chip cookies?

You can store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. Instead of storing cookies for a long time, though, I recommend freezing the raw cookie dough balls, and baking fresh cookies whenever you need them! You can put a frozen ball in the oven directly, and add 2-4 minutes more baking time.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Yes! After scooping the cookie dough and chilling in the fridge overnight, you can transfer the cookie balls to the freezer. Then bake as many cookies as you want directly from the freezer, adding 2-3 minutes to the baking time, so you can have fresh cookies whenever you want them.

Description

Your new go-to recipe for most indulgent, thick and chewy brown butter chocolate chip cookies!


Ingredients

  • 10 tbsp unsalted butter (140g)
  • ½ cup to ⅔ cup packed light or dark brown sugar (100g to 133g); to taste
  • ¼ cup white sugar (50g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk 
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 tsp instant coffee dissolved in 1 teaspoon hot water
  • 1 ⅓ cup all purpose flour (170g)
  • ¾ tsp salt (you can reduce to ½ tsp if you don't like your cookies to be too salty)
  • ½ tsp baking powder 
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped (113g)
  • 4 oz milk chocolate, chopped (113g)

Instructions

  • Place the butter in a non-stick pan and melt it on medium-low heat. Keep stirring for a few minutes until the butter starts to look brown and develops a caramel-y nutty aroma
  • Turn the heat all the way to the lowest setting, and add the brown and white sugars. Whisk on the lowest flame for 1-2 minutes, then remove from the heat. The heat facilitates the dissolving of the sugars and starts breaking them down for a deeper flavor. You are not trying to caramelize or melt the sugars. The mixture may look somewhat grainy, don't worry
  • Remove from heat and cool the mixture for 5 minutes. It should be warm, but not hot anymore
  • Add the egg and yolk, and quickly whisk to incorporate. Add the vanilla and instant coffee dissolved in hot water, and whisk for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes very smooth and creamy like caramel. If you see any clumps of sugar, press them down with the back of a spoon and they should mix in
  • Sift all the dry ingredients into a separate bowl. Add the chopped chocolate and mix everything together
  • Make sure the wet ingredients aren't hot (they shouldn't be). Add the dry ingredients to the wet in 2 batches and fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix! 
  • Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to divide the dough into 10 balls (if the dough feels a bit too runny to scoop, refrigerate for 10 min first). Don't apply pressure onto the balls, just gently pull them together
  • Place the cookie balls onto a plate or baking sheet, and add a few chocolate chunks on top (you can add more chocolate or reserve some of the chopped chocolate from earlier)
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but ideally overnight for best results 
  • Pre-heat oven to 375F (conventional / no fan) and prepare a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. It is best to use a lighter colored cookie sheet
  • Transfer the balls to the sheet, keeping at least 3" between them
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes depending on how soft and gooey you want the cookies to be. I always recommend baking 1 test cookie first!
  • Sprinkle the cookies with some flakey sea salt (optional) and let them cool down at room temperature for 10-15 minutes
  • Serve and enjoy while still warm!

  • Make sure to read all the tips in the blog post above. I have given details, answered FAQs, and provided both video and photos of the recipe
  • You can freeze the cookie dough balls in an airtight container, and bake directly from frozen when needed! Just increase the baking time by ~2-3 minutes depending on how well done you want them

        Hi Zoha

        I tried baking these but they turned out a little cakey. i want to retry but make sure I do it properly. so I did use a measuring scale. I'm not sure but I found that the flour was more than my wet mixture? i did use half the sugar is that why? becauseof that my dough was not as wet as yours looks in the picture and instead was more solid to turn into ball. once i baked them they retained their ball/dome shape instead of flattening out. please tell me what I did wrong 😔

          I really think the cakey texture is from the baking powder. I actually swap your suggestion and do 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1/4 baking powder just for a little lift but not so much that they are not chewy. I highly suggest you try it once like this for testing purposes!

      Ah great question, and sorry for the confusion! You can add vanilla if you like the flavor of it. I ultimately am not a huge vanilla fan and feel like it takes away from the chocolate. Additionally, the brown butter adds a lovely aroma and nutty flavor, with which I feel like vanilla is optional.

      Easy to follow recipe. Made 9 balls (80g each)
      I used 1/2 cup brown sugar as I didn’t want the cookies to be super sweet and 1/2 tsp salt (thank you for suggesting these alteration Zoha, bang on perfect balance!)

      The cookies taste just as good the next day too. Thank you so much for the recipe!

    Hi. I made these cookies today. The only 2 changes were 1) Demerara sugar substitute for white and 2) chocolate chips as I didn’t have anything else. Cookies came out thick - dome like. And after 12 minutes they were underdone. I baked them another 5 minutes. They taste good but don’t look like on recipe pictures. Is that because of different sugar maybe?

    Reply
    • Zoha says

      May 16, 2023 at 1:29 am

      Yes! Demerara sugar is very different than white, so that's the reason. Also, using chopped chocolate also gives cookies a slightly different texture and shine on them

    I have tried many, and I mean MANY choclate chip cookies recipes until I stumbled upon this recipe and method, which I can finally say “I’m now at peace”. The taste and texture are on point to my liking - owh, not just me but the family too. If you want to atrempt this recipe, please follow the recipe and measurements precisely and read the methods carefully (which ain’t that difficult to follow) and you will get the result.

    Just additional step for those living in a hot and humid country. The recipe calls for the butter to be melted into brown butter. Your room temperature is already quite warm & humid and with the warm butter and sugar mixture, it may cause the batter (i.e after you add in the dry ingredients and fold in the choclates) to be quite damp and soft for you to scoop.

    Hence, what I did was, after I’ve gotten that caramel colored mixture, I let it rest for several minutes before adding the flour and folding in the choclates. Then I chuck it in the fridge for 1-2 hours before I can scoop it with the ice-cream scoop and shape it. After all the scooping is done, another 1-2 hours in the fridge before putting them in the oven.

    Thanks Zoha for this recipe. It’s a keeper!

    Recipe is wonderful. I have never baked cookies but these comments and your video is encouraging me to make these. I have few questions, if you can reply please. Once i browned the butter for some recipe on really low heat and it turned brown pretty quickly and had some solid residues at the bottom of the pan. is it normal when browning butter?
    and I don't have a scoop, can i do with hands or spoon? will it affect the shape if i try to make a ball shape without applying much pressure on the dough?
    looking forward to your reply

I use a cookie scoop, but it still seems that some of my cookies come out different sizes. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong? I thought maybe I could be scooping the batter when it's still to warm. I'm not really sure. Any help would be appreciated!!

      THANK YOU SO MUCH, Ashley! Means the world to me. To get even sized cookies, the best tip is to just use a scale. Scooping doesn't give the exact same size as you can easily overstuff one cookie vs the other, and sometimes batter sticks to the scoop.

    Never usually leave reviews under recipes but this recipe is literally the best ever that i tried! The cookies turned out so well. Tasted like store bought (actually better than that) rather than home baked. I baked for 15 minutes exactly to get that gooey chewy center and crispy edges.

    I loved making these cookies. I weighed everything and followed the recipe, chilling the final product 4 hours. I only had 7 oz of chocolate but it was plenty. I used Lindt 70 % and Hershey's semi sweet.
    The amount of sugar is perfect. I'm always cutting back on sugar in most cookie recipes .
    They turned out delicious but a little underdone . I did 11 min and probably could go 2-3 min more for a crispier texture.
    My 91 yr old mom relished them and agreed with me we don't need to buy chocolate chips anymore!!

      Aww, thank you for the thoughtful review, Sherri! Everyone's oven is different and the baking time will vary depending on exactly how big the cookie is and also the type of pan. So I always recommend baking 1 cookie as a test first so you know exactly how long to bake for your preferences 🙂

    Hi Zoha.

    Thank you for sharing this recipe! It’s one of the best I’ve come across and perfect for a new baker like me.
    Just quick question. I use a scoop but My cookies turn out different size and shape. How can I get them to all look the same? I noticed you had used a Cookie cutter in your video? At what point is this best to use?

    Thank you for your help w

    Reply
    • Zoha says

      October 31, 2024 at 8:08 pm

      Hi Nosh! If your dough is so runny that you can't scoop the cookies properly, you can refrigerate it for 10 minutes before scooping. Then right after baking the cookies, you can use a larger cookie cutter or something else that is round and of a similar shape to round out the cookies (since they are somewhat malleable when they are fresh from the oven).

    I'm sorry but this is the worst recipe I've ever followed for chocolate chip cookies. The ratio of butter/sugar to flour was incredibly off - needs much more flour than indicated. Also, would be nice for the ingredients (butter) to be listed in measurements used in most of the world. (Grams, ml). Also doesn't help that the entire process will take you over a day with the changes in temperature needed (from room temperature, to hot, to cold, to chilled, to cooked, to chilled) etc -I would never use this again.

      Hi Jayla - I don't usually respond to any criticism on my recipes as I find it to be helpful, but it is pretty obvious from your comment that you didn't read the recipe properly. Firstly, I have provided gram measurements for every ingredient except baking powder, soda and salt which are too small for scales to measure accurately. Secondly, there are no multiply temperature changes - you have to chill the cookie dough once before baking which is standard for most cookie recipes. Thirdly, what do you think is more likely, that this is the worst recipe ever but happens to have hundreds of stellar reviews, or that you made a mistake following it?

    Hi! I ran out of baking powder. Can I use just the baking soda? Your chocolate chip cookie( single serving) recipe had only the soda that’s why I started making this one without checking the ingredients properly and now I’m stuck. If I’m skipping the baking powder then should I increase the amount of baking soda or will it remain the same?

    hi. I tried following the recipe but I used palm sugar instead of brown sugar. I've read somewhere that I can just 1:1 ratio when substituting brown sugar with palm sugar. however, my final. product have cake/sponge-like texture in the middle. why do you think this happens? the only difference is I used 3/4 chocolate from the original recipe, other than that no difference

      Hi there - it's possible the type of sugar made the difference. Also, did you chill the dough long enough?

    I replaced the milk chocolate with salted caramel chips from Trader Joe’s and topped with a little flaky sea salt. Amazing!

    why did the batter become oily? I reduced the sugar to 110 grams cus we dont like it too sweet but it turned really oily batter is this normal. i used 140 Grams of butter and browned it accordingly as this isn't my first time Browning butter.

      May 30, 2025 at 9:07 pm

      Hi Aisumi. You reduced a dry ingredient which helps absorb butter significantly, that's why the batter didn't turn out right. Sugar plays many roles for texture in addition to adding sweetness. I don't recommend going under 150g total sugar for this reason
