Browned Butter Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Print Recipe

Warm, nutty, and utterly addictive, these cookies bring a toasted complexity to a classic favorite.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter over medium heat in a saucepan, stirring frequently until it foams and the milk solids turn golden brown. Let it cool.
  3. Combine the cooled browned butter with the brown and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat until smooth, then add the eggs and vanilla extract.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
  6. Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers look set. Cool on the sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For even browning of butter, use a light colored saucepan. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
