Bake bakery-style chocolate chip cookies that are thick, chewy, and have gooey centers using Jacob’s perfected brown butter technique. This recipe delivers superior, crowd-pleasing results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling often, until the butter foams, then brown bits form at the bottom and it smells nutty. Immediately pour the brown butter into a heatproof bowl and let it cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This step is key for thickness and flavor.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Scoop the dough into balls (about 3 tablespoons each) and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. For extra bakery style, press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the dough balls.
  10. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers should still look slightly soft and gooey.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is essential for achieving a thick cookie that doesn’t spread too much.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars for the best melt and flavor.
  • If you prefer crispier edges, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
