Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies/ Biskut Coklat Chips Mentega Perang

While I was pinning on my bake! cookies board on Pinterest, I found three recipes for browned butter chocolate cookies. The first one is Cooks Illustrated recipe on laura's sweet spot. The recipe is deemed the perfect chocolate chip cookies, and it is from Cooks Illutrated, so it must be good, right? Then, I found a sinful recipe on cooking classy: Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies with Browned Butter, Vanilla Beans & Sea Salt. Say what?! I almost settle on that until I found a recipe on Kak Rima's bisous a toi and decided to give it a try. This recipe is so simple and the cookies were fantastic! I reduced the sugar a bit and added chopped cashews for extra bite. Yum! A definite keeper. Oh, before i forget, I'd like to remind you that these cookies do spread and don't place them close to each other like I did. Follow the recipe and place them 2 inches apart so you can get perfectly round cookies.

DON'T place the cookies too close to each other like this! They'll spread. 

     
Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Original Recipe: completely delicious
Source: bisous a toi

Ingredients:
1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar *I used 90g dark brown sugar
1 cup (215 grams) brown sugar *I used 200g light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cup (300 grams) all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups (450 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips *I used 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped toasted cashews
Coarse salt, for sprinkling (optional)

Method:

1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, continue to cook until it turns golden brown. Swirl the pan occasionally if needed so that it browns evenly. Watch it fairly closely, as it can go from brown to burned quickly. When the color has turned golden, small flecks speckle the butter, and it has a nutty aroma, remove from heat and poor into a shallow dish. Chill in the fridge until it becomes solid. You want it to be soft, but not melted. If it cool too hard, let it come back to room temperature before using.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees (175C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
3. Beat the brown butter, sugar, and brown sugar on medium high speed with an electric mixer until light and creamy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Add the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix until incorporated.
5. Spoon by the tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches in between each cookie. Sprinkle with coarse salt, if desired. Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes on the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.

Sumber: bisous a toi

Bahan-bahan:
1 cawan (226 grams) mentega tanpa garam
1/2 cawan (100 grams) gula *saya guna 90g gula perang gelap
1 cawan (215 grams) gula perang *saya guna 200g gula perang biasa
2 biji telur
1 sudu kecil esen vanilla
2 1/2 cawan (300 grams) tepung gandum
1 sudu kecil baking soda
1/2 sudu kecil garam
2 cawan (450 grams) coklat chips *saya guna 1 1/2 cawan coklat chips dan 1/2 cawan kacang gajus yang disangai dan dipotong kasar
Garam kasar untuk ditabur (tak letak pun xpe)

Cara-cara:

1. Dengan api perlahan, cairkan mentega dan biar sehingga ia bertukar ke warna perang. Jangan biar sampa hangit. Selepas itu, sejukkan mentega perang di dalam peti sejuk sehingga ia keras sedikit.  
2. Panaskan oven pada suhu 175C dan alas loyang dengan kertas parchment.
3. Pukul mentega perang, gula dan gula perang sehingga berkrim. Masukkan telur satu persatu dan pukul sebati. Tambah esen vanilla dan kacau lagi. 
4. Dalam satu bekas yang lain, satukan tepung, baking soda dan garam. Masukkan campuran tepung tadi ke dalam mentega yang dipukul tadi (wet ingredients) dan kacau sebati. Masukkan coklat chips dan gaul. 
5. Letak adunan biskut anggaran 1 sudu besar setiap satu di atas loyang. Jarakkan dalam 2 inci kerana biskut akan mengembang semasa bakar. Tabur sedikit garam kasar jika suka. Bakar selama 10-12 minit atau sehingga garing. Sejukkan dan simpan dalam bekas kedap udara.
