How to Brown Butter

If you’ve never baked with brown butter and are curious about it, you’re in for a treat. Browned butter has a wonderful nutty aroma that enhances the flavor of any baked good. Here’s how it’s done!

First, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat.

Next, bring the butter to a boil and continuously swirl (or stir) the pan until the butter foams up and turns a deep yellow color.

It will take a few minutes for the butter to begin to brown, but once it begins to brown, it will happen quickly, so don’t walk away!

When the color is deep amber, remove it from the heat and set it aside to cool for a few minutes.

Tips for Perfect Brown Butter Cookies

• Make sure to remove your eggs from the refrigerator to allow them to come to room temperature. If your eggs are too cold, they will shock the warm butter, hardening it and making your cookies very puffy.

• Go for unsalted butter since you are going to sprinkle some salt flakes on top.

• Chilling the dough allows it to develop a deep caramel flavor while also providing crispy edges, chewy insides, and crackly tops.

• Don’t overmix the ingredients so that your cookies don’t become very puffy.

Ingredients

• Butter
• Brown sugar
• White sugar
• Vanilla extract
• Eggs
• All-purpose flour
• Baking soda
• Chocolate chunks
• White chocolate chips
• Flaky salt, optional

Steps to Prep

First, over medium-low heat, melt the butter in a medium saucepan (it’s better to use a light-colored pan so you can see the color of the butter changing).

Next, melt the butter and cook, swirling occasionally, until it turns a lemony-yellow color, then golden, and finally amber. Remove it from the heat as soon as it turns amber and you see little flecks of brown on the bottom of the pan. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.

Once cooled, combine butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl using a spatula for about 3 minutes.

Then, add the vanilla and eggs and mix until well combined.
After that, add the flour and baking soda until incorporated.

Fold in the chocolate chunks and the white chocolate chips.

Chill the cookie dough in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.

Scoop dough into 1″ balls (1.5-2 tablespoons) and space 2″ apart. Sprinkle some flaky salt on top.

Finally, bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. Let them cool down in the baking tray for 10 minutes before serving them.

Enjoy with a glass of milk!
