Notes

HOW TO BROWN BUTTER

Place butter in a pot and allow to melt and foam.
Use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to stir and scrape the sides.
The colour of the butter will begin to change and small brown bits will appear on the surface and bottom of the pot.
The whole process will take around 8 - 10 minutes.

Tips for making Brown Butter Cookies

Brown Butter - make sure your brown butter is cool enough to touch before using. I usually set it aside to cool for 10-15 minutes before making the recipe. Also, be sure to scrape every bit of brown butter from your pan.
Fridge Time  - This really helps the flavours to develop and inhibits spread. You can keep the dough in the fridge for up to 3 days.

How to freeze cookie dough for later

We freeze cookie dough and baked cookies all the time. Here is how to freeze cookie dough:
  • After the dough has had some time on the fridge, form into cookie dough banks and place on to a lined tray. Chill in the freezer for 30 minutes. Then transfer to a freezer bag or container. Cookie dough will keep well for up to 3 months.
  • To Bake - Simply bake cookies as directed in the recipe and add 1 extra minute.

How to freeze baked cookies for later

To freeze baked cookies, allow to cool and then transfer them to a ziplock bag or a lined container. Cookies will keep well for up to 2 months. Once ready to eat, simply thaw out at room temperature and enjoy.
