If you are looking for a classic, bakery style chocolate chip cookie, look no further than here. I have tried thousands of chocolate chip cookie recipes, but nothing beats a classic chocolate chip cookie like this.
These cookies are soft and chewy, but still have a good bite. The brown butter highlights the caramel brown sugar taste, and really helps you have the most amazing cookie!
Tip One: When baking your cookies, take them out halfway through and bang them against your counter, then put them back in! This helps them deflate in the centre and cook through.
Tip Two: If you have never made brown butter before, go to: Brown Butter Peanut Butter Cup Recipe and scroll down to the how-to video!
Tip Three: To separate your egg yolk from your egg, just use your hands! Crack your egg in a bowl, and use your hands to pick up the egg yolk and put it in a new bowl. Then save your egg whites for an omelette or another recipe. It is honestly as easy as that!
Tip Four: It is way better to undercook then overcook your cookies! Take them out RIGHT when they are just slightly starting to brown. They will continue cooking on your sheet pan as they cool, so make sure not to over cook them!
