Recipe: NYT — Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Rating: 4 / 5 · Make again: Yes · Made by: Jamel
Process notes. Easy to bake, no need for room temperature butter (love that), and the wet and dry come together fast. They spread nicely when baking. This recipe yielded 24 cookies.
Tasting notes. Well balanced — crunchy edges, soft chewy interior, and bigger chocolate chunks are definitely better. The browned butter gives a deep richness that elevates the brown sugar. Used coarse kosher salt instead of what the recipe calls for, which gave a better burst of salt throughout each bite.
For next time. Used a semi-sweet and milk chocolate from a nearby specialty store. Next time: increase the brown sugar and salt, and go 70% milk chocolate / 30% semi-sweet.
