BROWN BUTTER BROOKIES this is such a fun trend but idk who started it. inspo from sugarspundreams and chef smiley recipe: ingredients brown butter: 339g (or 1 1/2 cup) butter (unsalted brownies: 130g (or 1 4oz bar) chocolate (chopped, I used 60% dark) 75g (or 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp) Dutch processed cocoa powder dash of vanilla extract or paste 325g (or 1 3/4 cup packed) light brown sugar 3 large eggs (room temp) 115g (or 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp) all-purpose flour pinch of salt 85g (or 1/2 cup) chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet) chocolate chip cookies: 60g (or 1/4 cup) granulated sugar 140g (or 3/4 cup) brown sugar 2 large eggs (room temp) 1 tsp vanilla extract/paste 190g (or 1 1/4 cup) all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp espresso powder (optional but enhances the chocolate really nicely) 100g (or 1/2 cup) chocolate chips directions for brownies: preheat your over to 350F (180C). brown your butter separate to 2 bowls, leaving one to cool. Add to the hot one your chopped chocolate. mix until melted. add your cocoa powder and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined and set aside. in a separate large bowl, combine your brown sugar and eggs and whisk until light in color and fluffy. This may take a few minutes (3 to 4 by hand, about 2 mins with an electric mixer). pour in your chocolate and brown butter mixture and mix until combined. add flour and salt and fold with a rubber spatula until flour is nearly mixed in. just mix until most of the flours mixed in. add chocolate if desired and fold to evenly distribute. set aside. directions for cookies: once brown butter is cooled, combine with brown and white sugars and mix. add your egg and mix for a minute or two until the mixture is paler and thicker. add your vanilla and mix to combine. add your dry ingredients, except your chocolate, and fold with a spatula until almost all the flour is mixed in. there should still be a few streaks of flour visible. add your chocolate and mix until no flour remains. in a parchment lined 8x8 pan, alternate transferring your doughs and allow to bake for 35 to 45 minutes, checking at about 30 minutes with a knife. if it comes out mostly clean, it’s ready to be taken out. #baking #brownies #brookies #fyp #chocolate - @bernshouseeats
