I've had a serious craving for chocolate chip cookies.
I mean, aren't chocolate chip cookies, the best cookie on earth?
So, I decided to satisfy my craving, in a Deliciously Healthy way, by making these:I mean, aren't chocolate chip cookies, the best cookie on earth?
What you need:
- 1 cup and 2 tablespoons unbleached all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter- divided
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon low-fat milk
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips- divided
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease 2 large baking sheets. Whisk flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl, and set aside.
- Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat until melted, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking, swirling pan constantly until butter is dark golden brown (1 to 3 minutes). Pour butter into a bowl. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter into hot butter until completely melted.
- Add both sugars, salt, milk and vanilla to bowl with butter and whisk until smooth. Add egg and whisk until mixture is smooth with no sugar lumps. Let mixture stand 3 minutes, then whisk for 30 seconds. Repeat process of resting and whisking 2 more times until mixture is thick, smooth and shiny. Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in 6 tablespoons of chocolate chips.
- Divide dough into 16 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Press the remaining 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies.
- Bake cookies 1 tray at a time for 8-11 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to wire rack.

Ooo Brittany,
You're precious and full of great recipes!! By the way, thanks for all of your sweet comments on my blog. Though I am having to think hard about those non-scale victories, the lessons learned, if nothing else, is a pos.!!!!
First batch of these just came out of the oven. They smell amazing.
I love that they don't have too many chocolate chips cuz while I do like the chocolate, I feel like the nestle bag recipe totally overdoes it and you can't taste the cookie at all.
Also the browned butter in this? DIVINE!
I will exercise self control and have one with a half glass of milk before bed.
Thank you for this recipe! It's great!
