THE BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies
So usually the recipes you find on this blog will be healthy, BUT if you follow me you know I always preach about balance. And that means I strongly believe in treating yourself. Especially if you’re pregnant right now like me. I mean food is always life, but that really applies when you’re with child. I always have a thing for cookies, but when I was pregnant with Stella I literally baked chocolate chip cookies 1x a week. And during all of that baking and recipe testing, I came up with a really freaking good Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie with Sea Salt recipe. I mean you guys, it is THAT good. I brought some over to new neighbors a couple weeks ago, and they seriously cannot stop raving about how these are the best they’ve had. Maybe they’re just being nice, but these are pretty special.
Make these. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Ingredients:
1.5 sticks salted butter, browned
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp of corn starch
1 teaspoon baking soda
sea salt, a sprinkle
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1.5 cups of dark choc chips and milk or semi sweet chips
pink sea salt to sprinkle on top
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350.
Brown the butter and make sure to cool completely. or at least 20 - 30 mins before you use it.
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, corn starch and sea salt w a fork in a large bowl.
In a mixer, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar and butter until mixed well and forms a paste. Add in the eggs and vanilla. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients being careful not to overmix. Add in the chocolate chips.
*Chill dough for at least 1 hour. Optimal up to 2 hours and can definitely make ahead and leave in fridge or freezer overnnight.
Using a cookie scoop (or measure out a tbsp), place on your parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt and bake for 8-10 minutes. The cookies won’t look done, but as long as they are slightly browned on the edges you should take them out and let cool.
