Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.

Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until well combined.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.

Add the vanilla extract and LorAnn® Better Than Extracts™ Brown Butter Bakery Emulsion and mix well.

Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing just until a soft dough forms.

Fold in the chocolate morsels by hand until evenly distributed.

Divide the dough in half, wrap in wax paper, and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours or in the freezer for 1 hour. This step helps the cookies hold their shape, bake up thicker, and develop deeper brown butter flavor.

Drop dough in tablespoon portions onto prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.

Bake for 9 -11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
