Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (100g)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (220g)
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (170g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until golden brown and nutty, about five minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and browned butter. Add eggs and vanilla extract; whisk until frothy.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with just a few chocolate crumbs. Cool on wire racks.
