Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Out of all the chocolate chip cookies, brown butter chocolate chip cookies are perhaps most delectable.

Brown butter is made by cooking unsalted butter long enough to turn the milk solids brown while cooking out any water present in the butter.

Often described as tasting nutty or toasty, it has a deeper, richer, more intense flavor than melted butter.

How to make brown butter

Put cold butter in a light colored pan or skillet over medium heat. A light colored pan helps you to see the color change when the butter has browned.

This is quite important because there are only a few seconds between beautiful brown butter and burnt butter. Swirl the pan as the butter melts.

After the butter has completely melted, continue cooking on medium heat until the butter turns a deep amber color and smells nutty. Immediately remove from heat and pour into a heat-proof bowl.

There will be little bits of milk solids at the bottom of the pan. Do not discard! The toasted milk solids carry a lot of the brown butter flavor.

Other unique ingredients.

Bread flour. I used bread flour instead of all-purpose flour that you find in most cookie recipes. The high protein will yield very chewy texture inside and crispy on the outside. However you need to be careful not to over mix the cookie dough to avoid the texture becoming tough

Lemon. A hint of citrus will cut the gluten forming in the mixing process and help the cookie to be softer

Cream or milk. 1 tbsp of cream or milk will help to cookies to maintain its soft and chewy character inside
