Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Is it a muffin or cupcake? If you want it to “sound” healthier, call it a muffin. If you feel more like a dessert, call it a cupcake. Whatever you decide, you will love the mixture of chocolate and banana! Start by peeling 3-4 ripe…

Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – So Good!

Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – So Good!

These chocolate chip cookies are so good! The brown butter, combined with the dark brown sugar, gives them a rich caramel flavor…and the texture of these cookies is just perfect! You will want to make a batch of these!

Getting the ingredients together first makes all recipes easier. Note: To brown the butter you will use a skillet that is not a non-stick skillet. We were going to visit our son at Mizzou, so I was making a double batch when I was taking these photos.
The browned butter makes these cookies extra tasty. Watch the butter carefully and remove from the heat when the butter starts turning a golden brown and has a nutty aroma.
Pour the browned butter over the cut up butter in a heatproof bowl,
whisk until all the butter is melted. Add sugar, salt and vanilla.
With an electric mixer, mix about 1 minute, until well combined.
Add egg and egg yolk and mix with mixer until combined.
Gently stir in flour.
Gently fold in chocolate chips.
Looks so good!
Arrange cookies 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets, bake at 375 degrees, about 10-14 minutes, rotating tray halfway though baking time.
The best chocolate chip cookies!
If you are a sea salt fan, sprinkle a bit on right after the cookies come out of the oven. I like the sweet and salty mix – but most of my family prefers them without the salt.

This last time, I tried sprinkling on a few pistachios on top right before I baked them.
Delicious addition!
Grab a glass of milk – or cup of coffee and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 14 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1 11 ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chips (or your favorite chips)
  • sea salt flakes, chopped pistacios – optional

Instructions

  • Preheat over to 375 degrees.  Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Whisk 1 3/4 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda together in medium bowl.  Set aside.
  • Whisk 1/2 cup sugar and 3/4 cup dark brown sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl.  Set aside.
  • Divide up the butter.  Put 10 tablespoons in a 10-inch skillet (not non-stick).  Put remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a large heatproof bowl,  cut the butter up so that it will melt easier.
  • Heat 10 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until melted, about 2 minutes.  Continue cooking, whisking butter until the butter is dark golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 1-3 minutes.  Watch carefully – once the butter starts to brown, it browns quickly.  
  • Remove from heat and pour browned butter over the 4 tablespoons of butter in the heatproof bowl.  Stir until the butter is completely melted.
  • Add the sugar and salt mixture, plus the vanilla, to the bowl and mix until well combined with electric mixer, about 1 minute.
  • Beat in  the egg and egg yolk and mix until combined. 
  • Gently stir in flour, until just combined.  Gently fold in chocolate chips.
  • Arrange cookies about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.  I used 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop. Flatten slightly with hand.  Can sprinkle with chopped pistachios, if desired, slightly push nuts into dough.
  • Bake 1 tray at a time until golden brown and still puffy, until  edges have begun to set, but centers are still soft, about 10-14 minutes.  I bake 6 minutes, rotate baking sheet and bake 6 more minutes.  Time will vary on size of cookie and exact temperature of oven.  
  • Transfer to a rack to cool.  Can sprinkle with sea salt flakes, if desired. Enjoy!
