Let me start out by saying that these browned butter chocolate chip cookies are 943459329304 times better than they even look.  Once in a while I get the question of what my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe is.  I feel like chocolate chip cookies are one of those things where it is hard to find the perfect recipe and not everyone has the same preference.  I always answer that question by saying these Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies are my absolute number one and then these babies I’m sharing with you today are number two.  They are great for last-minute baking when you are craving cookies but didn’t plan ahead by taking the butter out to soften.  These use melted butter (hence, the browned butter portion of the title) – problem solved!

Delicious Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies made with browned butter, mostly brown sugar, and mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. This is my favorite chocolate chip cookie to make.

Because of the melted butter aspect of this browned butter chocolate chip cookies recipe, these aren’t your big, puffy chocolate chip cookie.  They bake up more on the flat side, have a crispy texture around the edges and soft, gooey center.  Eat them warm for the best cookie eating experience, in case that wasn’t obvious.
