How to Make Browned Butter
In a medium heavy bottomed pot, melt 2 sticks of unsalted butter over medium heat. The butter will start to foam and sizzle. You’ll know when the brown butter is done when the butter turns a deep brown and the sizzle of the butter stops. Immediately remove it from the stove and pour into a heat safe bowl and allow to cool for 20 minutes before popping the bowl into the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Remember to scrape all of those brown butter bits into the bowl also.
How to make Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
In a stand mixer, cream the brown butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together for 3-4 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time followed by vanilla. With the mixer on low, add in the all purpose flour, salt and baking soda until fully combined. Stop the mixer and fold in chopped chocolate and coconut until completely combined. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet and chill for at least 30 minutes. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment and place cookies 2 inches apart on sheet pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes and enjoy!
