Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brown butter (unsalted)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (organic)
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 pastured raised eggs
  • 1-2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp real salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 1/4 cups fresh milled soft white wheat flour (organic)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

Make the Brown Butter
  1. Turn your skillet on medium heat. Place the cup of butter in the skillet. Let it melt completely, stirring occasionally to ensure even melting.
  2. Once melted, continue cooking the butter, stirring frequently. It will foam and bubble as the water evaporates. Watch closely as the milk solids begin to turn golden brown (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. You’ll notice a nutty, toasty aroma. The butter should be a deep golden color, but not black (burnt butter tastes bitter). Remove from heat immediately once browned to prevent burning.
The Cookie Recipe
  1. Using a mixer, cream together the brown butter and coconut sugar. Add the vanilla and maple syrup. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add in each egg, one by one and mix together with the wet ingredients.
  3. Next, add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Combine all the ingredients together until it’s creamy texture.
  4. With a spoon or spatula, fold in the the chocolate chips.
  5. Wrap the dough in wax paper and place in the fridge to chill for a few hours.
  6. Using a parchment lined baking sheet, scoop out the dough evenly. The dough can be dropped either by a tsp (for smaller cookies) or use a medium cookie scoop (for larger ones).
  7. Bake at 375℉ for 9-11 minutes or until the outside edges appear crispy and the cookies are golden brown.
  8. Allow the cookies to form about 10 minutes and enjoy!

Notes

Varieties:
Add pecans or walnuts to your batter when you are adding the chocolate chips for a little extra crunch. Pistachios would be pretty tasty too!
Add 1 cup of peanut butter for extra richness! Just cream it together when you add the eggs in.
