   Love this! When I was younger, my mom would always bake a couple of cookies without the chocolate chips for me. It wasn’t until years later that I actually learned to appreciate the chocolate chips, but the chocolate chip-less cookies are still my favorite!

   At first, I was a little EHHHHH what is she thinking with this whole no-chip shenanigans?
   But then I saw the browned butter. And my heart melted. Totally obsessing over these cookies! Pinned!

     I know, I know, it sounds so crazy until you give them a try. 🙂 Thanks Taylor!

     I’m giving this recipe 5 stars even though I haven’t even made it yet. ( I know it’s gonna be so good :). ) I do have a question, though. Can you skip on the salt if you use salted butter or it it a must to use unsalted butter and add salt later? I’m asking this because it’s quite difficult for me to look for unsalted butter sometimes when EVERY butter tastes like it’s salted.

     • Annalise — April 25, 2022 @ 11:26 am

       You can use salted butter in place of unsalted without any problem! I usually recommend unsalted for baking, but cookies are a little different as the sweet and salty combo works so well. If you use salted butter, you can reduce the salt if you’d like, but I wouldn’t leave it out.

   Wow, I love this idea! I love brown butter in my chocolate chip cookies and it pairs really well with the brown sugar and vanilla – why do we need chocolate chips anyway?

   Brown butter cookies with sea salt…I can definitely live without the chocolate for a bit!

   I made your chocolate chip cookies for my mother. They were fantastic! I’m so glad I found your blog. We don’t eat sweets that often and traditional recipes make way too many cookies. This was perfect. Thank you!

    Yeah! I love that you made these. I just made some for Pete this week. We’ve all been enjoying them cold from the freezer. I too make them with brown butter and you can never go wrong with a touch of sea salt!!

    I love these cookies. The first time I made them they came out so good. I have a problem though, the last 2 times I tried the recipe they came out almost bread like and I need help figuring out what I am doing wrong. Any advice? I don’t want to try another recipe b/c this one is really so good. Any words of wisdom are much appreciated.

    Thank you for this recipe!!

    • Annalise — December 17, 2015 @ 7:24 pm Reply

      Hi Leah! I’m not sure what you mean by bread-like? Are they more cakey and less chewy? See if you can think of any differences between the first batch and the other two. Maybe there was a difference in how you measured the flour? I’m sorry, I wish I could be of more help!

    I had the same problem as Leah! I made these once when I was in Miami and they were great. Then I just tried again and they were really dry and came out cake-like! Not very good.
    I did notice that when I put the eggs in there was a film that developed but I mixed it quickly and didn’t notice anything else until I put the powder mix in and could immediately tell it was too dry. I don’t know if it had to do with the eggs or the butter was hot or what it was. Any insight would be much appreciated!

    • Desiree — April 28, 2016 @ 4:39 pm Reply

      You said powder- did you put baking powder in instead of baking soda? That would change the consistency.

17. Karina — April 29, 2016 @ 5:07 pm Reply

    I made these for some friends, and they were delicious! I thought the brown butter and a tiny pinch of salt on top added a really nice flavour to the cookies.

18. Kaitlyn Watson — May 6, 2016 @ 11:11 pm Reply

    The batter was a bit darker than pictured. I’m a bit worried in regard to how they’ll turn out. I guess I’ll see in 9 minutes

19. Anne — May 25, 2016 @ 11:00 pm Reply

    I see your cookie collapsed nicely during cookie. My version tasted superb but it stayed very bumped (with cracks), so less pretty and less chocolate chip-less. I wonder why? Maybe my 1/2 tsp baking soda was to royally measured? What do you think?
    I did everything exactly as written by you but did use dark brown sugar.

    Thanks anyway for a great recipe!!

20. John — July 30, 2016 @ 7:52 pm Reply

    The first time I made these they were good but were a little to puffy and cake like. I did some research as to why and made a second batch. This time stirring the batter (before adding the flour) less. I only stirred to get it evenly distributed. Secondly, I added about a pinch or two less of baking soda than the recipe calls for. Cookies were perfect the second time around.

    After scouring the net for chocolate free cookie recipes and came upon your site. I followed the recipe exactly and the result was near perfect. Crispy on the outside chewy in the middle, delicious. I normally keep some for the following day, but these were so nice, they were all snaffled up before they had chance to cool down. Definitely a favourite cookie recipe. Thanks for sharing.

    Could unsweetened soy milk be used instead of almond? With extra sugar?

    I’m out of chocolate chips so I’m thinking of using vegan sprinkles!

28. ElleT — September 5, 2017 @ 3:51 pm Reply

    Just made and ate them just now! Should have read the comments BEFORE but like the others mine came out too cakey (poofy) so next time I will use less baking soda and take them out a little earlier so the middles are gooey.

    Half of my batch I didn’t add chips to and the second half I did add butterscotch & chocolate chips to and OMG the butterscotch ones complimented the butter flavor amazingly. Definitely add butterscotch chips to get that extra kick <3 <3 <3

    I also used whole wheat flour — so that may have been why they turned out too fluffy and cake-like. TBD.

29. Jamilay — September 13, 2017 @ 1:57 pm Reply

    Just tried making these and I think I nailed it! ^-^ I had a sweet tooth and had been craving cookies all week when I realized, much to my dismay, that I ran out of chocolate chips. After looking around for recipes of chocolate chipless cookies I stumbled upon your website. I was a little worried about mixing them too much and ending up with a bread like texture, like one of the other comments said, but these came out nice and chewy. They tasted wonderful and perfect texture too. Best cookies I’ve made yet!

    I followed the recipe but my “dough” came out runny. Not dough at all. I don’t know what happened! On a side note though, the dough tastes amazing ?

      You are so right. I was going off her chocolate chip browned butter recipe and omitted chips and they weren’t as good as this recipe. This one rocks with no chips.

    Would this recipe still work if you let the dough sit in the fridge for a day or so?

      Absolutely! The flavor should be even more developed, with lots more butterscotch nuttiness from the brown butter.

    My cookies did not flatten and they just baked as round balls which I didn’t want. And they looked more like sugar cookies than chocolate chip cookies (darkness and smoothness)

    I didn’t have vanilla but am pregnant and was desperate to try these cookies. I figured worst case my husband gets sent to the store for either vanilla or premade cookies lol! I ended up adding an extra 1/4 cup brown sugar to help make up for that missing vanilla taste and omg these are amazing. You can’t even tell I didn’t use vanilla! I could cry tears of joy they are so good. Definitely a new favorite. Thanks for the fantastic recipe from baby and me ?

    I have not liked chocolate chips since I was young. I am always on a hunt for chocolate chip cookies w/o the chips. People always ask do you mean a sugar cookie, no. I like the flavor of the chocolate chip cookie dough but not the chips. A friend made them with walnut or a bit of oatmeal for texting.

    I also make brown butter for my chocolate chip cookies, Domino makes a maple flavored pourable sugar. Try that instead of brown sugar, Be aware it is lighter per cup so yu may have to add a bit more. I always make my chocolate chipless cookies with chopped toasted nuts, either pecans walnuts or macadamia nuts. Also great with dried cherries added as well

    Hi! This is my all time favorite cookie recipe. I make them all the time back in the states, i recently moved abroad and forgot to bring my cup measures with me :/. So I have been using the metric system, dL and mL. The first time I made them they came out super flat I think the proportions were off since I had to translate cups to dL and France doesnt really sell brown sugar like in the states so i used all white sugar, still tasted good though. I was wondering if could transfer the recipe to mL and dL for me? I know it is a big ask, and no worries if you cant! Thank you! Love love love your recipes!

    • Annalise — February 20, 2020 @ 1:41 pm Reply

      Hi Kelsey! I’m so happy to hear you love these cookies too, they’re also one of my faves! I include weight measurements in grams precisely so my international friends can make my recipes too. Since ml is a volume measurement (just like cups) and won’t change for different ingredients, it is just a simple math equation. Google is always a good help making the conversion. And I’m afraid I don’t even know what dL is, sorry! Best of luck! 🙂

54. Nicole — June 24, 2020 @ 4:53 pm Reply

    I was extremely happy to see that these cookies did not flat out, which is a problem I have been having lately! The dough was a bit sticky, which was more than likely user error. The main problem I had with these cookies was that they were not as flavorful as I had hoped for. Probably because I am so used to chocolate chips (but did not feel like going to the store to get some!), but a few other family members enjoyed the cookies. I will probably not make these cookies again, but they were worth a try and the recipe was very easy to follow!

    Have you ever made a reverse choc chipless cookie? You do the recipe you provided and let them cool to room temp . Melt semi-sweet choc chips in double boiler and dip the cooled down cookies in them half way. Put the dipped cookies on a cooling pan insert and stick them in freezer for 1/2 hour. They are really good. You get half no choc and then half dipped in choc, but still without the whole chips in them. I’m making these tonight your way, because I have no choc. These even make a good fall cookie by sprinkling chopped pecan pieces on the cookie after dipping them in the chocolate. Or you could fill a bowl with the pecan pieces and then dip the choc half inserted in nuts then place on the cookie sheet to cool in fridge/freezer. I’ll let you know what I think! Thank you for recipe!

    Soooo delicious and and easy to prepare. I was concerned that the cookie would spread and flatten like a pancake since no chilling is required but they came out perfect. The brown butter is perfection in this recipe.

    This recipe came out HORRIBLE. I ignored others comments because I thought they probably did something wrong but they came out cake like and didn’t spread! I even used a tad bit less baking soda and flour. Worst recipe ever not sweet enough and not worth the time. If you wanted like a Mexican bread cookie this is it.

      Hi Regina! I have literally made these cookies a hundred times or more, and I can assure this is a solid recipe. I’d love to help troubleshoot went wrong if you’d like to give another try. Email me at completelydelicious@gmail.com anytime. I’m sorry the first try was such a bust! Wishing you all the best.

    I’m giving this recipe 5 stars even though I haven’t even made it yet. ( I know it’s gonna be so good :). ) I do have a question, though. Can you skip on the salt if you use salted butter or it it a must to use unsalted butter and add salt later? I’m asking this because it’s quite difficult for me to look for unsalted butter sometimes when EVERY butter tastes like it’s salted. Pl

    Definitally not as gooey as I was hoping for. But the nuttyness of the butter is so delisious!!!

      For a gooey-er cookie, try underbaking by a minute or two. 🙂 Glad you enjoyed them!

    I made them and they are sooo tasty. We ate the whole batch in one day. They are really nice and soft. Also I love that you dont need any special ingredients, they are made of things I usualy have at home.

    Really delicious. My go to recipe. This time, I didn’t have enough flour (1/4 cup short) so I ground up some oatmeal to make up for the missing flour. Turned out really nice.

    So I was reading thr recipe and it says 1 egg and 1 yolk so do u mean 1 egg and half or just one whole egg separated? Also mines came out cakey followed the recipe as stated and instructions.

    • Annalise — January 31, 2023 @ 9:11 am Reply

      1 whole large egg + 1 large egg yolk (white removed). I hope that makes sense!

    Unfortunately these didn’t work for me. They stayed in the shape of small golf balls and were hard and really not tasty. I followed the exact recipe but they taste of flour 🙁 looked really good though in the photos

      Hi Christina! I’m so sorry this recipe didn’t work out for you. How do you measure flour? I’m guessing that could be the issue. Flour should be spooned and leveled or else you’re likely adding way more than the recipe requires. Learn how to measure flour here, and I’ll add a note in the recipe to help others out too.

    I didn’t have quite enough butter (just 1 stick) so I think that’s why mine didn’t spread much, but they were definitely delicious especially with the brown butter! They’re nicely balanced and not too sweet. It seems like a good base for a flavor like cardamom or orange blossom, I might add that next time!

     I made these cookies following the recipe exactly. They turned out delicious! They were more cake like than crispy, but that didn’t take away from the flavor! I bet I could have left them in for a minute or two more to crisp them up. The brown butter is what makes these special. Thanks for sharing!

     I try this recipe, but my battery was very runny. It doesn’t look like how yours does.. I have no idea what I did wrong.

     These are perfect every time. I have made them with nuts and chunks and without. Very easy to prep and bake.

     I didn’t read ahead and I did not brown the butter. Do you think they will turn out okay?

     • Annalise — September 25, 2023 @ 11:23 am Reply

       Hmm, did you just start with melted butter then? It’s hard to say how they will turn out as I never tested it that way. They might be just fine, or perhaps they will spread more in the oven since the volume/amount of melted butter and brown butter is different.
