This brown butter Cookies recipe makes beautifully chewy, rich flavoured, crisp edged treats! Easy to make and oh so moreish!

I have used Just Flavour Salted Caramel in these Cookies, but they’re great in so many flavours! Take a look at the full range of Just Flavour here!

Ingredients:

  • 140g lightly salted butter
  • 145g Soft brown sugar
  • 65g caster sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 215g plain flour
  • 1 heaped tsp Just Flavour
  • 3/4tsp Bicarbonate of soda
  • Any inclusions you would like to add

Method:

To brown the butter:

  1. Pop the butter into a heavy based saucepan.
  2. Tun the hob onto a medium heat and stir the butter continuously.
  3. Bring the butter to a gentle boil. As the water evaporates from it a foamy substance should appear on the surface.
  4. Continue to heat while continuously stirring. You should see little brown specks forming.
  5. As soon as you smell a nutty aroma (before the brown specks turn black and the butter is burnt) remove from the heat and transfer into a heatproof dish to prevent further browning.

For the cookies:

  1. Combine Both types of sugar with the browned butter, mixing to form a loose paste.
  2. Add the egg and mix until combined making sure not to mix too vigorously and solidify the butter.
  3. Sieve in the flour, Just Flavour, and baking powder and mix until combined.
  4. Now you can fold in any inclusions you might want to add.
  5. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and allow to chill in the fridge for a minimum of an hour and a half.
  6. Preheat the oven to 170c fan.
  7. After chilling, use a cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough. roll into balls and place onto a lined cookie sheet leaving plenty of room for the cookies to spread.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes. The cookies should be soft in the centre but browning at the edges.
  9. Allow to cool for 10minutes on the baking tray before transferring to a cooling rack.
