Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients

For The Brown Butter:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• Pinch of salt

For The Cookies:

• 2 + 1/2 cups flour (for thinner cookies: 2 + 1/4 cups flour)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1 stick brown butter
• 1 stick softened butter
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs (room temp)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup hazelnut
• 1 cup chocolate chips

How To Make Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Prepare the Brown Butter: Pour the heavy cream into a bowl and using an electric mixer or stand mixer (or a butter churner) beat the cream until the fat solids separate from the liquid, about 10-12 minutes as shown in the video. In a large bowl, wash the butter in cold water, replace the water, and repeat the process until the water no longer looks milky. Place the butter in a pan over medium heat. Stir and keep watching to ensure it does not burn. Once the butter is lightly brown and smells nutty, remove the pan from the heat and pour the butter into a medium bowl. Let it cool at room temperature.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the cooled brown butter, softened butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until fluffy and creamy using an electric mixer.
4. Combine Ingredients: Beat in the eggs and vanilla until smooth. Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and combine well. Add chocolate chips and hazelnuts and stir to combine.
5. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or better overnight.
6. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
7. Shape the Cookies: Scoop the dough 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet using a medium ice cream scoop. Press a few more chocolate chips on top of the cookie balls.
8. Bake the Cookies: Bake for around 11-12 minutes until nicely browned.

Recipe Tips

• Make sure the brown butter is cooled: Let the brown butter cool to room temperature before mixing it with other ingredients. If it’s too warm, it could affect the texture of the cookies.
• Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps to solidify the fats, which leads to thicker cookies. The longer you chill the dough, the more the flavors will develop.
• Don’t overbake: Keep a close eye on the cookies while baking. They should be golden brown around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. They will continue to cook on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven.
