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)
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!
Cool the Butter
Place your brown butter in a bowl & chill for 30 minutes.
Whisk the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the following ingredients:
- light brown sugar
- dark corn syrup
- salt
- butter
- egg
- vanilla extract
Fold in Dry Ingredients
Sift the plain flour, whole wheat flour, & baking soda.
Fold into the batter with a rubber spatula.
Add the Good Stuff
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks & milk chocolate chips with the rubber spatula.
Chill the Dough
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to improve the flavor.
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.
Final Touch
Remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt & leave on the baking sheet until cool.
Enjoy!
