These are my absolute favourite chocolate chip cookies and are always a hit no matter where I bring them! Crispy on the outside, chewy in the middle, and a delicious caramel butter flavour.

Notes
Browned Butter
- Heat butter in a small sauce pan on medium-low, stirring occasionally until butter is slightly caramel in colour. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Note: it is okay for the butter to be liquid but it shouldn’t be hot to the touch when using in this recipe.
Variations
- Feel free to change the types of chocolate chips and chunks added, e.g. all dark chocolate.
- If you would like a cakier cookie, add ¼ – ½ cup more flour.
- Substitute in 1 cup of chopped nuts or fruit, such as raisins or cranberries, for the chocolate.

These were so good! I’d never browned butter before but it brought these over the top. Maybe I’ll have to make them again this week
