    Mini Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Tiny cookies, BIG flavor! These mini brown butter chocolate chip cookies are rich, nutty, and packed with melty chocolate in every bite, perfectly poppable and impossible to stop at just one. 
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 6 minutes
    Resting time: 20 minutes
    Total Time: 41 minutes
    Servings: 100 mini cookies

    Ingredients

    • 14 tbsp salted butter
    • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
    • 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
    • 1/2 tsp baking soda
    • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or slip mats.
    • Brown butter: Add butter to a small saucepan. Heat over medium high heat and cook until butter is golden brown and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
    • Transfer the butter to a large bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
      Stir in both sugars, egg and vanilla.
    • Fold in the flour and baking soda just until combined, it's ok if there are still streaks of flour. Stir in chocolate chips.
    • I let my cookie dough sit for 20 minutes to firm up a bit.
    • Divide dough into 1 tsp size cookies (see tips on speeding this process up) and place them on baking sheets lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
    • Bake for 5-6 minutes. They still may look a bit soft in the middle that is fine. They will continue to cook while they are cooling on the baking sheet.

    Notes

    • Store baked cookies: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–5 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3–4 months.
    • Refrigerate cookie dough: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
    • Freeze cookie dough: Scoop into balls and place on a baking sheet. Freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip-top bag and store for up to 4 months.
    • Bake from frozen or thaw: Let dough thaw in the refrigerator or sit at room temperature while the oven preheats before baking. It may need an extra minute or so if frozen.
