These are next on the to try list. Dove came out with a new deeper dark chocolate so I’m chopping them up for cookies next time I bake.
Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 (11-ounce) bag of chocolate chunks or chips
Flaky sea salt
What kind of chocolate should you use? Well, that’s up to you! Use your favorite here: milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, or even dark chocolate.
Start by browning the butter: Cook butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until it foams up and then browns. Remove the butter from the heat immediately and let it cool for 15 minutes.
Next, combine the sugars, salt and cooled brown butter. Mix until smooth, then add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
Stir together the flour and baking soda and gradually add it to the butter mixture. Mix until it just comes together, but don’t overmix. Fold in the chocolate of your choice.
Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours. I typically shoot for overnight, but you can go as long as 24 hours.
When you’re ready to bake, let the dough sit out at room temperature while the oven preheats. It will be quite hard until it sits out for a bit. Use a medium cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. You should end up with right around 24 cookies.
Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes, or until the edges barely start to brown. The centers will appear undercooked; this is what you’re looking for. At this point, you can press some additional chips or chunks into the tops of the cookies and give them each a light sprinkling of flaky sea salt.
Technically both of these steps are completely optional, but I highly recommend them. I promise that sea salt really puts them over the top!
I know you will totally love these Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. Just try to stop at one!

Those look good, and sort of butter-scotchy. I like that.
I love your idea of chopping up Dove chocolate bars and adding them to the cookie mix.
And topping the baked cookies w/ more chocolate is truly a sinfully delicious twist.
I read somewhere that a famous chocolate chip cookie sold in stores has a secret ingredient.......
The baker adds the crumbs from Honey Nut Cheerios cereal.
You can’t see it in the cookies......but it does add another layer of flavor.
