Brown butter chocolate chip cookie cake is everything you love about cookies in cake form. Soft and gooey in the center, chewy on the edges, and loaded with chocolate chips, it’s only made better by nutty brown butter.

I’ve been on a brown butter kick recently, using it as my secret ingredient in countless baking projects. I’ve become obsessed with the nutty, caramel flavor it brings to baked goods, especially chocolate chip cookies. It’s truly a magical ingredient in the kitchen. Not only does it add depth in flavor, but it also saves time since you don’t need to wait for your butter to soften to room temperature! Just brown it and let it cool slightly before mixing into your recipe.
