Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Prep Time: 20 minutes mins
Cook Time: 20 minutes mins
Total Time: 40 minutes mins

Serves 12

These brown butter chocolate chip cookies are a bakery-worthy treat! They have lightly crisp edges, chewy middles, and a delicious toffee flavor, thanks to the brown butter and brown sugar. Melty chocolate fills every bite.
Ingredients

¾ cup unsalted butter, 1½ sticks, sliced into pats
1¾ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt, reduce to ½ if you prefer a less salty cookie
¾ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate chips, plus more for topping

Instructions


Brown the butter. Melt the butter in a light-colored pan over medium heat. Stirring constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon, continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the butter smells nutty and the milk solids at the bottom of the pan turn golden brown. The butter will foam around the edges in the first few minutes of cooking. The foam will subside slightly before the butter is fully browned. Immediately pour the browned butter into a large heatproof bowl to prevent burning and set aside to cool slightly.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the bowl with the butter and whisk to combine. Add the egg and egg yolk and whisk until well combined and no streaks of egg white remain. Whisk in the vanilla.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula. When the dry and wet ingredients are mostly combined, add the chocolate chips and mix until well combined.

Bake the cookie dough right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Use a ¼-cup cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between cookies. Press more chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies, then press down lightly on the tops of the dough mounds to flatten them slightly. Bake, one sheet at a time, for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown but the tops still look slightly underdone. The cookies will set up as they cool.

Let cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Best Bean Dip

Prep Time: 10 minutes mins
Cook Time: 20 minutes mins
Total Time: 30 minutes mins
Serves 8

This bean dip recipe is an easy, delicious party appetizer or game day snack! Serve it warm with tortilla chips.

Equipment

8-inch Lodge Cast Iron Skillet
Mixing Bowls

Ingredients

Avocado oil, for the pan
1 (16-ounce) can refried beans, or 2 cups Homemade Refried Beans
½ cup sour cream or whole milk Greek yogurt
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
1 to 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
Sea salt
⅔ cup grated cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend
Lime wedge, for squeezing
Tortilla chips, for serving

Topping options

Halved cherry tomatoes or diced plum tomatoes
Thinly sliced green onions
Thinly sliced jalapeño or serrano peppers
Sliced or diced avocado
Cotija cheese
Chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions


Preheat the oven to 375°F and oil an 8x8-inch baking dish or 8-inch oven-safe skillet.

In a medium bowl, stir together the refried beans, sour cream, green chiles, and 1 teaspoon taco seasoning. Taste and add more taco seasoning and salt as desired. (When I make this recipe with unsalted beans and unsalted taco seasoning, I add a heaping ½ teaspoon salt at this point, though you may want less or none if your beans and/or taco seasoning are salted.)

Transfer the bean dip to the prepared pan and evenly spread it to the edges. Top with the cheese, leaving some dip exposed around the edges. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dip is bubbling.

Let cool for 5 minutes, then add desired toppings. Squeeze with lime juice and serve with tortilla chips.
