Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients: - 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter - 1/2 cup (79g) light brown sugar - 1/3 cup (69g) granulated sugar - 1 large egg, at room temperature - 1 tablespoon (15g) vanilla extract - 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled - 1/2 teaspoon (3g) baking soda - Pinch of salt - 1 1/2 cups (225g) semi-sweet chocolate chips Method: 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns a deep amber color and develops a nutty aroma (approximately 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool. 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. 4. In a large bowl, combine the cooled brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk for 1-2 minutes until a smooth paste forms. 5. Crack in the egg and add the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined, approximately 2-3 minutes. 6. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter until just combined. 7. Stir in the chocolate chips. 8. Scoop 4 cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Top with additional chocolate chips if desired. 9. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden and crispy at the edges, gooey at the center. 10. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool further. #chocolatechipcookies #cookies #brownbutter #cookie #recipe #baking

Continue until milk solids turn golden brown and smell nutty. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Add cocoa powder, oil, vanilla, and chopped chocolate; mix until smooth. In a separate bowl Whisk 3 eggs and light brown sugar for 5-6 minutes until dissolved. Add powdered sugar; mix 1-2 minutes until combined.Add cooled browned butter mixture; mix until smooth. Add flour and chocolate chips; mix until well combined. Note: Dissolving sugar in eggs ensures a crackly top. 4. Layer the cookie and brownie batters in the prepared pan. 5. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the edges are golden and center is a little jiggly. They will set once they are completely cooled. 6. Let cool completely before cutting into brookies. Note: You can adjust the layering to your preference, either by layering the cookie dough on top of the brownie batter or vice versa, or by creating a marbled effect by swirling the two batters together. #brookies #cookies #brownies #fudgybrownies #chocolate #recipe #bakinglove
