Sweet and Salty Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chef notes

These golden, rich, buttery cookies have the sweet contrast of chocolate chips. We're changing up the original recipe here by browning the butter to give it an added level of rich, nutty flavor, then topping it with a little garnish of salt.

Technique tip: Chilling the cookie dough before baking helps the cookies retain their shape when baked — no more flat cookies. You can store the dough as a log. Wrap the finished dough with plastic and roll it into a 5-inch log. Chill until ready to use. You can cut slices off the dough and bake.

Swap option: We recommend using fleur de sel, but any salt will do in a pinch.
