Introduction: Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
My go-to cookie recipe when I need something a little sweet and a little salty.
Supplies
Ingredients:
130g butter
100g dark corn syrup
150g light brown sugar
1 tsp fine salt
1 egg (bring to room temp)
1 tsp vanilla extract
100g plain flour
50g whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
115g milk chocolate chips
115g dark chocolate chunks
flaky sea salt to sprinkle on top
Supplies:
large pan
whisk
rubber spatula
large bowl
sifter
kitchen scale (to measure all ingredients)
Step 1: Brown the Butter
In a large pan, melt the butter & continuously stir for about 5-10 minutes over medium heat until the butter starts to brown.
The butter will go from yellow, to foamy, to golden, & then brown. It will begin to smell nutty when it has reached the perfect browning.
Be careful! It can easily burn, so do not walk away from your butter!
Step 2: Cool the Butter
Place your brown butter in a bowl & chill for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Whisk the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the following ingredients:
- light brown sugar
- dark corn syrup
- salt
- butter
- egg
- vanilla extract
Step 4: Fold in Dry Ingredients
Sift the plain flour, whole wheat flour, & baking soda.
Fold into the batter with a rubber spatula.
Step 5: Add the Good Stuff
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks & milk chocolate chips with the rubber spatula.
Step 6: Chill the Dough
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to improve the flavor.
Step 7: Baking the Cookies
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Scoop the dough with a large spoon & drop onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Space the cookies about 4 inches apart so the cookies can spread out evenly.
Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the edges have lightly browned.
Step 8: Final Touch
Remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt & leave on the baking sheet until cool.
Enjoy!
