Ingredients

Directions

Step 1: Melt the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat, swirling often.

Step 2: Continue cooking until the butter foams, turns golden brown, and smells nutty, then pour it into a bowl and let it cool slightly.

Step 3: Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl.

Step 4: Beat the browned butter with the granulated and brown sugars until smooth.

Step 5: Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

Step 6: Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined.

Step 7: Fold in the Nestlé milk and dark chocolate chips.

Step 8: Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes so the browned butter firms up.

Step 9: Preheat the oven to 375°F and scoop the dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets.

Step 10: Bake 9 to 11 minutes until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked, then cool on the pan.

Chef's Tip: Browning the butter is the key step, so watch it closely once it foams because it can go from golden to burnt quickly. Chilling the dough deepens the flavor and keeps the cookies thick.
