Make sure to chill the cookie dough for at least 1 hour. Out of all the chocolate chip cookies, brown butter chocolate chip cookies are perhaps most delectable. Brown butter is made by cooking unsalted butter long enough to turn the milk solids brown while cooking out any water present in the butter. Often described as tasting nutty or toasty, it has a deeper, richer, more intense flavor than melted butter. Watch Video TutorialHow to make brown butterPut cold butter in a light colored pan or skillet over medium heat. A light colored pan helps you to see the color change when the butter has browned. This is quite important because there are only a few seconds between beautiful brown butter and burnt butter. Swirl the pan as the butter melts. After the butter has completely melted, continue cooking on medium heat until the butter turns a deep amber color and smells nutty. Immediately remove from heat and pour into a heat-proof bowl. There will be little bits of milk solids at the bottom of the pan. Do not discard! The toasted milk solids carry a lot of the brown butter flavor.

You can try omitting the white of each egg, which tends to dry out when baked, and replacing it with an additional yolk Plus, egg yolks have more fat than egg whites, which helps to keep your cookies moist and chewy.
What makes a cookie soft and chewy or crispy?Butter contributes milk solids and water to a cookie, both of which soften it. Brown sugar contributes molasses – again, a softener. Using lower-moisture sugar (granulated) and fat (vegetable shortening), plus a longer, slower bake than normal, produces light, crunchy cookies.
What makes cookies puffy vs flat?Q: Why are my cookies so puffy and cakey? Whipping too much air into the dough. That fluffy texture you want in a cake results from beating a lot of air into the room temperature butter and sugar, and it does the same for cookies. So don't overdo it when you're creaming together the butter and sugar.
How do I make my cookies more dense and chewy?Adding about ½ teaspoon of cornstarch for every 1 cup of flour will prevent the gluten in the flour from developing fully. Cornstarch will also help prevent the cookies from spreading too much, making them nice and thick, keeping the center soft and chewy.
