Best 3 Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

BROWN BUTTER TOFFEE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the toffee: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium nonstick saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, brown sugar, and salt, stirring until evenly incorporated. If there are grainy lumps or if the fat starts to separate, add a couple splashes of water and stir vigorously to emulsify. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 290°F (143°C), about 10-15 minutes.
• Pour the toffee onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out slightly with a spatula. Freeze until ready to use, about 30 minutes.
• Make the cookie dough: Add the butter to a medium nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns dark brown and smells nutty. Watch carefully so the butter does not burn. Remove the pot from the heat.
• Add an ice cube to the butter and slowly let it melt. It may froth and bubble. Add the remaining 3 ice cubes and gently stir until melted.
• In a large bowl, combine the granulated and brown sugar, espresso powder, salt, and baking soda.
• Pour the brown butter into the sugar mixture and mix until combined. Don't worry if it looks separated.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla. Pour into the sugar and butter mixture and whisk until glossy and smooth.
• Add the flour and fold with a rubber spatula to incorporate until the dough has no visible flour streaks.
• Remove the toffee from the freezer (it should be a frozen disc) and break it into chunks that will fit inside a gallon zip-top bag. Double bag the toffee and seal both bags. With a rolling pin, break the toffee into small pieces.
• Fold the crushed toffee and chopped chocolate into the dough until evenly distributed.
• Using a large ice cream scoop or a ½ cup (65 g) measure, scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Wrap the baking sheet in plastic wrap, but leave a small opening at the corner of the tray. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 36 hours. This will allow the flavor to develop and the dough to dry out a little as it rests, which will result in less spread when it bakes.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line 2 baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange the cookies on the baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between the cookies and away from the edges of the pan.
• Bake until the cookies are golden brown with crispy edges, but are still slightly soft in the center, 18-20 minutes.
• Immediately sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt. then let cool completely. The cookies will be very soft at first but will set after they are fully cooled.
• Enjoy!

BROWN BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with parchment paper. Place a microwave-safe plate over the parchment paper to hold it down. Microwave butter for 5 minutes. Check butter; continue to microwave in 30-second intervals if needed, until butter is golden brown and has released a nutty aroma, an additional 30 to 90 seconds.
• Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
• Beat brown butter, brown sugar, and sugar together in another bowl until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla and egg and mix until well blended. Add flour mixture and chocolate chips; mix until incorporated. Place dough in a container and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scoop cookies with a medium-sized cookie scoop and set on the prepared baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on the edges, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.

BROWN BUTTER TOASTED COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center and upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. On one baking sheet, spread out shredded coconut. Toast coconut for about 6 minutes, until browned and fragrant. Remove from the oven, place in a small bowl and let cool. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. The butter will begin to foam and crackle. That's a great sign. That means that the water is evaporating from the butter. Once the crackling subsides, keep an eye on the butter. The butter solids will begin to brown. You'll smell the butter as it browns. Once well browned, immediately remove the butter from the flame and place in a small bowl. Removing the butter from the pan will ensure that it doesn't continue to cook and burn in the hot pan. Allow the butter to cool for a few moments. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, measure granulated and brown sugar. Add the brown butter and beat together, on medium speed, for about 2 minutes. The sugar may still look grainy. That's ok. Add the egg and egg yolk and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. The mixture should become silky smooth. Add vanilla extract and beat. With mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients. Beat until just incorporated. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a spatula to fold in the toasted coconut and chocolate chips. Dough will be thick. Cookies can be baked immediately, or the dough can be left in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. Spoon balls by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown but still slightly soft in the center. Remove from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
