In reply to Laurie. Hi Laurie! We're so sorry this is happening. Are you adding the sugars to the butter before it’s cooled? If the butter is still warm when adding the sugars it will melt the sugars causing thin and flat cookies. Also, are you weighing your flour? If you didn’t weigh your flour you may have accidentally mis-measured it and needed a little bit more. Another tip--make sure your cookie sheets have cooled before adding your next round of cookie dough. And finally, make sure your leavening agents are fresh, as that can be an issue too.

HELP… I have made chocolate chip cookies tons of times and they ALL flatten. I tried your recipe and did all the things right and my cookies still flatten once out of the oven. The only thing I have not tried is adding flour, however I do not want it to change the flavor of the cookies. Any other ideas?

In reply to Elisha cox. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Elisha! It sounds like there may have been a touch too much flour in the dough. :( Did you weigh your flour?

Finally! The perfect cookie. I’ve been fiddling with chocolate chip cookie recipes for a while. Have tossed them all out now. I am a gluten-free baker and the swap I made was of the 340 grams of flour, I swapped in 40g of Oatsome Oat Flour and 300g King Arthur gf Bread flour. Everything else the same. Well, I did add 2/3 cup chopped dried cherries, but just to try (good). Thank you Sam!

In reply to El. These cookies are a little bit bigger so will definitely be a little more calorie dense. I'm glad you are enjoying them! :)

Hi Sam, my family and I love these cookies!!! Thank you for sharing! Quick question: Is there a possibility of miscalculation on the calories? Your other recipe named best chocolate chip is much lower than these browned butter ones although the recipes aren’t that much different. Sorry for asking. Will feel much better devouring these cookies knowing the calorie intake is lower.

In reply to Jenn. Hi Jenn! I haven't personally done it, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. :)

Just made these for the first time and omg…wtf!!! Absolutely INSANE how good these are. It’s taking everything in my power to not eat my entire test batch in one go

These are now the only kind of chocolate chip cookies I will make. I have had so many compliments on them!

These are absolutely unreal. They are delicious-is it possible to double the batch? Has anyone tried that?

These cookies are ridiculous. It makes me sick to my stomach thinking about buying or eating ANY other cookie. When I see cookies at the grocery store I literally laugh at them. I can’t believe I have been alive for 40 years and I am just now learning how to make or try brown butter cookies. Best. Cookies. Ever. The ONLY issue I have with the cookies is literally what you mentioned in the video about the chocolate. The chocolate ALMOST gets in the way of the cookie. Next batch I will use half the chocolate. If you have any other tips or updates to this recipe I hope you make a new video sometime. Thank you!!!

In reply to Tracy Bequette. I'm sorry to hear this, Tracy! Were you watching the video right above the recipe? There should be one 15-30 second ad to start the video. You should not be seeing that many ads? If you are up near the top of the post there is a "most recent videos" player that will play different videos. :(

Will not be using this recipe. Tried to watch the video on browning the butter at the top of the screen 3 ads before actual video starts 3 more ads 12 seconds in, then brings up a whole different recipe, 10 seconds into that 3 more ads. Way too annoying

In reply to Jeanene. Hi Jeanene! This recipe will give you what you need after the butter is browned. You start with the 2 sticks, brown the butter, and then use it in the cookie dough. :)

While making the brown butter, do you use extra butter to offset the loss of the water when it’s browned? Do you add any water after it’s browned? Or will 2 sticks give you the required amount?

First time making brown butter, chocolate chip cookies. I did not have a chocolate baking bar. All I had was bittersweet chocolate chips, but tried it anyway they are very good. I will definitely have to redo it again with the dark chocolate or semi sweet. I love your recipes. Thank you for sharing and making them so simple. I had always been intimidated by making the brown butter, but it’s really not that hard.

I found your channel only a few months ago, and these cookies were the first thing I made. I couldn’t believe how well these turned out. Simple ingredients, complex flavor, and no flat cookies! I’ve since made several of your thoughtfully written recipes, and the results are always consistent. Thank you so much!
