  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brown butter by melting unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown and nutty. Let it cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown butter with white and brown sugars. Mix well, then add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract.

  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for about 10–12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about five minutes before transferring to wire racks.
