Brown Butter Chocolate Chip

The previous cookies were so popular, there was a delay in making these due to a request for more of the last batch. There might be some regrets about that because Holy F these new ones are Amazing. Like the image say, this recipe does take a little more work, and I don’t know if I browned the butter adequately, but I’ll definitely be making them again next Saturday when the kids are over.

Cookies: Chocolate Chip

I bought a recipe book the other day. I’ve bought them before, for dinner things, but I don’t care so much about that. I enjoy baking but so far, I’ve stuck to very specific cookies: Nestle Toll House cookies. This recipe has served me well. Children like them. I’ve been asked to bring them when invited to potlucks. They’re good cookies, but I decided I should try different cookies. So, I bought this book.

I’m going to make every cookie in here. I was wondering what purpose that would serve other than adding to my cookie baby and increasing my need to join a gym, but part of my job is speaking to strangers on the phone all day and one of them said I should blog about it. I have a hard time maintaining my blog. Et voila!

So, I’ve stuck with the Nestle Toll House cookies all these years, and the first cookie here is also a chocolate chip cookies. The Nestle recipe makes 75 cookies (75!) because it uses more butter and the cookie drops are smaller, by probably two thirds or even three quarters, and the cookie recipe here makes 24 cookies. The cookies are a lot bigger, the drops are 2 tbsp in size, and they’re much thicker. With the Nestle recipe, I can make them puffier or softer depending on how much flour I use, and this one is probably the same. I won’t be posting the recipes because it’s someone’s copyright but both recipes are similar. I did replace the salt requirement with kosher salt because I didn’t have any regular salt and somehow I’ve got three boxes of kosher salt – gotta use it. There’s also a lot of pan manipulation and tapping things, like you’d avoid doing if you were making a cake, but it’s worth it because holymarymotherofgod are these cookies good. At least they are when they are hot out of the oven. I’ll wait a few hours to see how they are later but they are very very good. Can recommend.
