Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Directions
- 1Place the stick of unsalted butter in a pot on medium heat to melt.
- 2Stir the butter as it melts and continues to cook for 10-15 minutes until it turns amber brown, which means it's caramelized.
- 3Once the butter is browned, pour it into a mixing bowl and let it cool down.
- 4Add half a cup of brown sugar and half a cup of granulated sugar to the browned butter (or softened butter if you skipped the browning step).

- 6Crack one egg into the mixture.
- 7Add one teaspoon of vanilla.
- 8Add a drop of toasted sesame oil for extra nutty flavor.

- 11Add 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda.
- 12Add 1/4 a teaspoon of cinnamon.
- 13Add a pinch of salt.
- 14Mix the dry ingredients together.
- 15Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix.
- 16Add the remaining half of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- 17Add a generous amount of chocolate chips (a mix of milk and semi-sweet) to the dough.
- 18Mix the chocolate chips into the dough.
- 19Roll the cookie dough into balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
