Bistro Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

BROWN BUTTER-OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium heat in a stainless steel saucepan (this is important so you can tell when the butter has browned.) Whisk frequently for several minutes. When you start to smell the nutty aroma of the butter browning, and see small browned bits at the bottom of the pan, immediately remove pan from heat and carefully pour browned butter into a large mixing bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, oats, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl until well combined; set aside.
• Add both sugars to the bowl with the browned butter and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Add vanilla bean paste and beat for 1 more minute. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips.
• Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon spring-hinged scoop, scoop out dough and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 13 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks and allow to cool.

Steps:

• Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with parchment paper. Place a microwave-safe plate over the parchment paper to hold it down. Microwave butter for 5 minutes. Check butter; continue to microwave in 30-second intervals if needed, until butter is golden brown and has released a nutty aroma, an additional 30 to 90 seconds.
• Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
• Beat brown butter, brown sugar, and sugar together in another bowl until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla and egg and mix until well blended. Add flour mixture and chocolate chips; mix until incorporated. Place dough in a container and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scoop cookies with a medium-sized cookie scoop and set on the prepared baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on the edges, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.

• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 13 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES A LA GESINE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Bring to a simmer and simmer until the butter starts to brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Pour the butter into the bowl of a stand mixer, discarding the darkest bits that are at the bottom of the pan, and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• In the meantime, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and baking soda for 30 seconds to evenly distribute the leavening. Stir in the grated unsweetened chocolate.
• Add the brown and granulated sugar to the browned butter and mix until smooth and slightly fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Scrape down the bowl, add the vanilla and briefly mix. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until the dough just comes together. Add the chocolate morsels and chopped chocolate and mix until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 20 minutes if you are baking the same day (or allow to stay covered in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours if baking later).
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Scoop the dough with a medium cookie scoop (1.5 ounces) and place 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets; press the cookies very slightly to flatten. Bake, opening the oven and gently slamming the baking sheets halfway through the baking process, until the edges are slightly golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
