Brown butter, on the other hand, is simply butter that has been cooked slowly until it becomes brown and develops a nutty, toasted aroma. (The formal French name for brown butter is beurre noisette). I find it adds a lovely, deeper flavor to sauces and baked goods.
The process of browning butter is an essential skill for every baker, regardless of whether they are beginners or professionals. It adds a toasty, somewhat nutty note to both sweet and savory recipes that can make a huge difference in taste, whether you are making banana bread or gooey, sweet blondies. Browned butter is also known as beurre noisette.

here are 3 similar ways to make brown butter.
method 1
If you are concerned about burning your butter, you can also use low heat. First, melt your butter in a saucepan over medium heat (if you are worried about burning it). As soon as it begins to melt, begin stirring gently with a rubber spatula or whisk to ensure that none of the milk solids stick to the bottom of the pan. As soon as the butter begins to melt, it will begin to foam and bubble, which is completely normal.
After a few minutes in the hot oven, you will notice that the butter slowly changes color from pale yellow to tan as it is heated. When it reaches the desired brown color (and you will be able to smell the nutty aroma), remove the butter from the pan and pour it into a heatproof bowl to cool. After you have taken it off the heat, the butter can still continue to cook and you will run the risk of burning it if you leave it in the pan. It’s up to you if you want to strain your butter to remove any burnt bits or leave them to enhance the flavor of the toasted butter; it’s all up to your preference.
Whenever you are preparing butter for a baking recipe, it is important to chill it to the desired hardness prior to use. If you don’t use it all right away, you may store it in the refrigerator for later use. You can even make batches of browned butter and keep them in the freezer for up to a year.
note
If you are a newbie to the art of browning butter, you probably want to find out what exactly you should make with that new skill once you have mastered it. Browned butter can be used in any recipe that calls for butter or you can simply spread it on toasted baguettes to make a delicious breakfast sandwich. As melted, it is also an excellent sauce to drizzle over meat, fish, and vegetables. And if you are looking for an incredible Italian dish for your next weeknight dinner, you need to make brown buttered noodles.
method 2
It is important to melt unsalted butter over a low flame so that it separates into butterfat and milk solids.
As the solids sink to the bottom of the pan, they will begin to brown if left over gentle heat for an extended period of time.
Remove them from the heat as soon as they reach a nice, toasty color.
method 3
Make sure you grab a wide, heavy-bottomed pan and place it over medium-low heat.
As the butter melts, continuously swirl it around the pan to prevent it from burning. The butter will go from brown to burnt quickly, so make sure you don’t let it burn.
If you keep swirling the butter over the heat until it becomes light brown in color and smells nutty, you can leave it over the heat and use it in any recipe that calls for melted butter.
tip
You can make herb-flavored brown butter by adding a handful of fresh sage leaves, rosemary sprigs, or fresh thyme sprigs to the pan as you make the brown butter.
The Best Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies You’ll Ever Eat
This is the world famous brown butter chocolate chip cookie that is made with dark brown sugar, two types of chocolate chips and a sprinkle of salt. This cookie is perfectly crispy on the outside, chewy in the middle, and one of the best cookies that you will ever taste.
The magic of brown butter
Obviously, the key ingredient in this recipe is brown butter. If you’ve never browned butter before, you should know it’s super easy to do, and it makes everything taste so much better!
ingredients
In order to make these brown butter chocolate chip cookies so special, there are a few key ingredients whose ratios make them one-of-a-kind. Here are the ingredients you will need to make them:
In order to create the perfect texture in this recipe, I recommend using good old all purpose flour. I would not recommend swapping flours for this recipe.
There is something very special about brown butter in these cookies. The flavor profile is nutty, sweet, toasty and reminiscent of the flavor profile of hazelnut caramel.

In the recipe, rather than using a half-and-half ratio of white sugar and brown sugar, I prefer to use more brown sugar and very little white sugar. In addition to keeping the cookies softer and chewier in the middle, brown sugar also ensures that the edges are crispy and delicious. When I make these cookies, I normally choose dark brown sugar since it is flavored with a tad more molasses, which, in turn, gives me an out-of-this-world cookie. However, light brown sugar can also be used.
It is important to note that this recipe calls for 2 eggs + another egg yolk. This makes all the difference in creating a rich texture and a perfect consistency on the cake. Just trust me on this!
This sounds crazy, but it’s true, a small amount of greek yogurt helps activate the baking soda in the dough so you get moist, lovely dough and perfect, crinkly tops. If you don’t have greek yogurt, try using sour cream instead.
There are two kinds of chocolate chips that make this recipe unique, milk chocolate and semi-sweet. This just adds more flavor profiles to the recipe and really creates a unique taste. If you like dark chocolate, then you can use that and semi-sweet. It’s totally your choice.
A few of the baking essentials include baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract. You can learn how to make your own vanilla here, and I also like to sprinkle a little fancy salt on the cookies after they have been baked.
Instructions
first of all, brown your butter by adding it to a large saucepan over medium heat. The butter will begin to crackle, and then eventually foam. Keep whisking constantly throughout this process as it will begin to crackle and foam. As soon as the butter starts to brown and turn a nice golden amber color on the bottom of the saucepan,
continue to stir it constantly. As soon as the butter starts to brown and give off a nutty aroma,
remove it from heat immediately and transfer it immediately to a medium bowl so as to prevent burning. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes, or until it is cool enough to touch, before handling.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to mix the brown butter and sugars until well combined, about 1 minute. Stir in the egg, yolk, vanilla, and yogurt until they are well combined.
The flour, baking soda, and salt should be combined in a large bowl. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat the ingredients just until combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix the dough on low speed until the chocolate chips are just incorporated into the dough.
then…
In order for your dough to be perfect,
it should be chilled for about 2 hours in the refrigerator, or up to 12-24 hours. Do not try to speed up this process. The dough needs to be chilled in order to be perfect.
A helpful tip: I recommend that you roll the dough into balls before
chilling it in order to make it easier for you to bake the cookies. Then you can just place them on the baking sheet and bake them. It’s up to you. I normally put my dough in the fridge for 10 minutes,
then I take it out and roll it into balls,
place them on a plate or baking sheet and put them in the fridge for another hour or two.
After the dough has been chilled, place a parchment paper lined
baking sheet in the oven and preheat it to 350 degrees F. If your dough is extremely hard and you have not rolled it into balls yet,
you might need to take it out of the freezer and thaw it out a bit before measuring it. If you plan on baking the cookies in about 20 minutes,
measure 2 heaping tablespoons of the dough or use a medium cookie scoop. The dough does not need to be perfectly rolled. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
and…
The cookies should be baked for about 9-11 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown. They will look somewhat underdone in the middle at this point, but will continue to cook as they cool.
It is suggested that you allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for
5 minutes to allow them to set up, then sprinkle each cookie with salt. Remove the cooled cookies from the baking sheets and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
