Mixed by hand, these one-bowl crispy chocolate chip cookies come together in less than 30 minutes. They're super thin with caramelized edges and a nutty flavor from the brown butter.

Ingredients

  • 12 tablespoons (170g) brown butter Note 1
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour Note 2
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (65g) light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • silicone spatula
  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • cookie scoop
  • baking sheet

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated and brown sugar, egg, milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add dry ingredients and mix the dough with a silicone spatula until just combined. Don’t over-mix the dough.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop, shape the cookie dough into about 1-inch balls. Arrange the cookie balls on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, minimum 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are nice and brown and flat.
  • Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Note 1: Be sure to measure brown butter after you browned it. You can substitute melted butter for brown butter. 
Note 2: It’s crucial to measure the flour correctly. I recommend weighing the flour for truly thin and crispy cookies. If use more flour than called for, you’ll get soft and cakey cookies.
Storing Tips: 
- Let the cookies cool completely before you store them. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Chocolate chip cookies are freezer-friendly. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe container or plastic bag for up to 3 months.
