How to make the perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies with Browned butter
Step 3: Refrigerate the dough for at least an hour but preferably for 24 hours.
Step 4: Let the dough warm slightly at room temperature.
Step 5: Once you can get a small ice cream scoop into the dough scoop out your dough, you don’t need to press it down, it will spread out just enough so that you get beautiful cookies. My recipe made 22 pretty large cookies.
You can definitely make these smaller but whatever the size, you’ll have a hard time keeping these around. So while they take a couple of extra steps, it’s well worth it to have a perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe.
These cookies freeze well and can also be shipped, they are sturdy enough to handle a trip.
