[@Juwieflan]

After I started browning my butter my cookies tasted so good like straight up out of a proper bakery

[@ShaneParkerLive]

Brown Butter cookies are the GOAT. My brother in law is literally a wizard with his cookie recipe. His are the best in the world and because he's so precise and exact with every single step it's rare and they always are gone within 20 minutes. I've tried for two years to find tune my cookie recipe but still haven't even won over my husband to say they are the same yet 😭

[@sredus]

Recipe? 🥺 👉🏽👈🏽

[@recoveringsoul755]

Seems like we should mix them this way with melted butter. Then put in the fridge overnight. Then bake, waiting is supposed to enhance the flavor, and baking from cold keeps them from spreading too much. And yes the browned butter too

[@taaron5595]

I use half cooled browned butter and half cold butter. Then refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days. 72 hour chill makes the best flavored cookies. And I’m about to go make some rn.

Cold butter cookies fresh out of the oven are THE best imo. They aren’t as good cold but all you gotta do is reheat them.

[@Lincolnator721]

​@MoJoHand I am the weirdo, my whole family likes the taste of cookies fresh and hot out of the oven but I prefer cookies a bit colder than room temperature

[@sergeantbigmac]

Reminds me that is what makes a good pie crust, flaky layers caused by pockets of butter layered with flour. Im not surprised it works for cookies too just cant believe ive never thought of it myself before because i love flaky pie crust.

[@dragonsrule20201]

Melted butter 100%! I once used butter that was between cold and room temp out of laziness and absolutely hated the result, but I attributed it to using a different brand of butter. It's nice to know the actual reason so I can avoid it

[@femalegays]

baking is so cool, cause it's not just mixing ingredients together. sometimes the measurements matter the least and you can cook most anything if you have some knowledge on how ingredients interact w/ each other.

[@xoxolovechristielynn]

Yep! Baking really is a science. With regular cooking, you can kind of just wing it and add whatever as you go to an extent, but baking is far more precise and specific.

[@celeste2025]

​​​@@xoxolovechristielynn yep ! I LOVE to bake and I'll admit I'm a HUGE perfectionist when it comes to baking that I actually kicked my sister out of the kitchen one time because she was "eye-balling" the ingredients. Gave me a little anxiety attack

[@emilyfarris3510]

I like it between room temperature and cold butter. It makes it a little more dense making it crispy. Yum!🥰

[@wbwbc89]

I had no idea the temperature of an ingredient could affect it so much! To me it just gets baked anyway so I assumed it didn't matter, but that's really interesting and makes sense how it can cause a difference

[@Minecraftrok999]

You get best taste results when you browned your butter (this step is really worth it for the deep butterscotch flavour), then let it cool down to a little over room temp. Then rest the dough at least 8 hours before you actually bake them! Trust me, it makes all the difference and your cookies will taste at least as good as from the bakery. And definitely better than subway Cookies.

[@Beeeeeee0528]

I’ve always used melted butter haha! It just never made sense to me to use softened or cold butter lol. I’m 12 almost 13 and my dad taught me how to make cookies and i’ve taken his recipe and tweaked it over time and have incorporated more into it or less, like i found out to make his recipe into edible cookie dough balls and you can just throw them in the microwave real quick. I also sorta taught myself to make cheesecake. I’ve been baking since i was 8 and i learned by watching my parents! So happy with the knowledge that they have passed down to me and that they give me credit for things i’ve come up with on my own. They’ve even said i do a lot of things that they did better than them. I love that i have them as parents. :)

I'm melted all the way. People always told me that it would cause them to bake flat, but as long as I chill them in the fridge before baking I have never found that to be the case.

[@donnabacon4681]

Also, if you roll the dough to create height, they won't bake so flat

[@suebotchie4167]

Yep, i chill the batter before baking - more convenient.

[@mandy7105]

Brown butter also gives a delicious flavour to a chocolate chip cookie!

[@terrierickson439]

Melted butter and bread flour then chilling the dough just a bit before baking makes the perfect cookie. Great video!

[@diverdave4056]

also add in a ounce or two real vanilla and a ounce or two of molasses ! the moment they finish baking - put the tray in your freezer for 5 or more minutes to stop them from loosing moisture as they cool down !

[@NicolePaler]

I use claire saffitz style and adjust my sugar ratios too. I love brown butter so o melt it but i also whip it over ice first before using to make it into a soft room temp texture which lessens the greasy factor of a melted butter cookie

[@ione97]

Oooh I like that idea

[@canislupusminecraft2670]

They all sound amazing.

[@sac967]

This is so interesting! You can see the difference in how the cookies look too!

[@Ang3lzzzzCr33dPR]

It depends on the recipe, if you choose melted butter then you have to make slight adjustments to the ratios of the ingredients so the cookies don't come out too flat. You can't just use melted butter in any recipe, the recipe should specify using melted butter.

[@lydia2366]

Good point!! The choco chip cookie recipe I use says to use cold butter specifically and when done baking, I get the most chewy center, dense outer edge, and a super crispy outside. I think the content creator demonstrated how cookies would look as a general rule of thumb, OR she is a cookie wizard idk haha😊

[@jackiemills6948]

Add a little bit of water to the melted butter. It replaces the water it lost while the butter was browning. If you just use melted butter without adding a bit of water back into it, your cookies will come out flat. If you add the water back into it, your cookies will be chewy in the center and crispy on the outside, ,not flat. Let the butter cool a bit before you add the rest of your wet ingredients. Transfer it to a heat resistant glass measuring cup to stop the cooking process of the butter. If you don’t let the butter cool a bit, you’ll get a greasy cookie. Also use one egg and one egg yolk in your recipe, this causes the cookie to become chewy in the center and crispy on the outside. Hope this helps😋🍪

[@AileenTownsend]

@@jackiemills6948I love browned butter cookies but was getting tired of them turning out flat and greasy. So i tried refrigerating the browned butter which helped a little, and then half browned and half room temp butter which increased the height but lost some of the yummy toffee flavor. Finally I found a recipe that uses some bread flour to keep them chewy. Hopefully I will find the perfect combination for the browned butter flavor, height and chewiness!

Melted Butter or preferably even brown butter, but allow it to cool down to get semi-solid/thick! That way you can still whip in those air bubbles and your cookie gets even more fluffy, but not cakey.

I use melted butter, for ease. Makes it easier to dissolve the sugar and move on, then i freeze the dough in slightly flattened balls and bake at 350° and shake a slightly larger cutter around the freshly baked cookies to get that nice round shape.

[@newsienurse8870]
