WHAT IS BROWN BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES?

DO I HAVE TO MAKE BROWN BUTTER FOR THESE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE?

HOW DO I MAKE BROWN BUTTER?

• Slice butter into tbsp portions. This helps it melt faster and more evenly.
• on medium heat in a heavy bottom pan add the butter
• Keep it on medium heat the entire time. Stirring occasionally.
• The butter will start to bubble, that is the fat separating from the oil. Its good!

When the butter is a deep golden brown color immediately remove from heat into a separate dish. Place in fridge for about an hour before using it in your cookies.

THERE ARE BROWN BITS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN, ARE THOSE GOOD?

Yes! Those are good, and keep those included in the butter you chill. It has loads of flavor.

WHAT INGREDIENT DO I NEED TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

• dark brown sugar
• white sugar
• browned butter or reg butter
• eggs
• salt
• baking soda
• vailla
• flour
• chocolate chips

WHY DO I NEED DARK BROWN SUGAR

Dark brown sugar has more molasses in it which makes the cookie have a bit more chewiness. It also enhances the flavor just a tad. If you only have light brown sugar, no biggie, use that!

HOW DO I MAKE CCC?

Start by creaming together your sugars and butter

With the mixer on medium speed continue to add eggs, salt, baking soda, vanilla and flour.

ADD CHOCOLATE CHIPS

Fold in your chocolate chips.

WHAT CHOCOLATE CHIPS DO I USE?

Typically everyone has their own personal preference with chocolate chips. You can add your very favorite. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, semi sweet or a combo.

BEFORE YOU BAKE

One key to having a more fluffy chewy cookie instead of a flat crunchy cookie is attributed to how cold your butter is in your dough. Before you bake place your cookies in the fridge for 30 minutes, or the freezer for about 15.

BAKE YOUR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Use a cookie scoop so your cookies are all evenly formed. I am using a 1 1/2 TBS cookie scoop and 12 cookie will fit on one sheet cake pan.

BAKE YOUR COOKIES

Bake your cookies for about 8 minutes. It’s hard to say exactly how long simply because your cookies may be bigger or smaller and all ovens cook differently. Different climates come into play here too. You want to look for the edges turning a slight golden brown and becoming firm.

ADD SEA SALT

GUYS. SEA SALT on your cookies is incredible. We all know salt enhances flavor- well it does here too. It enhances the buttery chewy cookies and the rich chocolate.

IF I’M ADDING SEA SALT ON TOP DO I NEED TO ADD IT IN THE COOKIE?

If you are using salted butter and adding sea salt to the top you can omit the salt in the dough. I choose to keep it all and don’t feel it is too salty in the least.

HOW DO I GET THE DELICIOUS MELTY CHOCOLATE CHUNKS ON TOP?

To get the melty pools on top I like to add a chocolate chunk or two chocolate chips to the very top of the cookie. When the cookies come out of the oven take a butter knife and spread it around a little. Then add the sea salt and it will stick perfectly. The best mouth watering presentation.

CAN I MAKE THESE GLUTEN FREE?

YES! I have made these successfully with cup-4-cup gluten free flour. It’s simple and turns out fluffy and chewy as do the cookies with wheat flour.
