Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Desserts

By Dixya

Cookies are definitely not my forte and I don’t have a favorite cookie recipe in my repertoire yet. Therefore, I turned to one of my favorite bloggers of all time, Joy The Baker. I chose brown butter chocolate chip cookies because its a classic chocolate chip cookies with extra pizzazz from brown butter and sea salt on top.

This is not your quick whip and bake cookie though. It needs your undivided attention and patience. Browning butter was probably the best part of this whole process. It bubbles, crackles and soothes you. Just don’t get carried away by the heavenly smell; this is the part where you need to really pay attention.

While the brown butter cools down, get your mise en place going. Don’t try to haphazardly read the recipe, measure ingredients, and end up using double the amount of butter. Not that I have done anything like that, just giving you all a heads up.

Let the dough rest for about 1/2 an hour then bake, cool, and ship.

I followed the original recipe and directions exactly with a few adjustments as noted below:

– I omitted molasses.

– I substituted pecans with walnuts.

– When refrigerating the dough, I divided them into two logs.

I received delicious cookies from Natalie, Veronique, and Nicole. Don’t forget to check them out.
