Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon optional - gives an added depth of sweetness
- 1 cup chocolate chips my favourite is dark
- Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. After a few minutes it will start to boil, and it will be really hard to see the color of the butter underneath. I can usually tell when I swirl the pan, but if it's too hard to see, take a little out and put it on a white plate. It's ready when it's a dark amber color.
- When it's done, allow the butter to come to room temperature.
- When the butter has cooled, add the sugars and whisk together until well combined and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla essence and whisk again until combined.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon, if using. Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture. When everything's combined, add most of the chocolate chips, reserving some for putting on the top of the cookies.
- Place tablespoons of the mixture onto a baking tray and press the remaining chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies. Refrigerate them until you're ready to bake them, or a minimum of three hours for the best flavor. I always put them in the oven straight from the fridge, if they're at room temperature they tend to spread too much while baking.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for around twelve or thirteen minutes, longer if you prefer a crunchier cookie (for whatever reason).
