Brown Butter Cookies


Brown Butter mixture! yummm
Yes folks, I have finally updated over a month later. Things got quite crazy for me, so I didn't do much real cooking or baking. Anyways, yesterday I was feeling rather festive (and was avoiding school work at all costs). The slightly colder weather put me in the sit-indoors-make-cookies-watch-tv mood.
To make brown butter you need to heat butter in a saucepan on medium heat and continuously stir it. You'll notice some brownish black flakes starting to form in it as the butter continues to break down. Once the liquid is completely brown, remove it from the heat, and separate the supernatant (yes, I'm using a science term here...hyperlinked for your benefit). Then let it solidify again before using it. You can make it in large batches and keep it in the fridge for future baking needs. If I wasn't already on a high from leftover halloween candy, I would have eaten them all by myself. Don't judge me.

What's in it:
-flour, baking soda, brown sugar, granulated sugar, browned butter, salt, vanilla extract, baker's chocolate, milk, eggs

  2. brown butter is richer in flavor, and has more of a nutty taste to it.
