Brown Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies
Equipment
- 1 Sauce Pan
Ingredients
- 4 oz unsalted butter, browned
- 195 g Soft White Wheat flour
- 275 g Coconut Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Molasses
- 2 tsp water
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp Redmonds Real Salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pretzels
- Flaky sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- First, mill your soft white wheat berries into flour and set aside. Rough chop your pretzels into pieces the size of elbow macaroni.
- Next, place 1/2 cup (4 oz) unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the butter foams and small brown specks appear. Do not step away from your butter as it can burn quickly. Once the butter is a light amber color, remove it from heat and stir in 2 tsp of water to replenish the moisture lost. Transfer to a small bowl to cool to room temperature.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together room temperature brown butter with sugar and molasses for a few minutes. Add Egg and Vanilla. Mix until well combined, scraping down sides if needed.
- Add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined, careful not to over mix or it will create flat cookies!
- Carefully fold in chocolate chips and crushed pretzel pieces.
- Using a 2 Tbsp scoop, form cookie balls. Place on a parchment lined sheet pan, leaving 2 inches between the cookies. Place the scooped dough into the refrigerator to chill for at least 20 minutes.
- While the dough chills, preheat oven to 350℉
- Remove chilled dough and place into the hot oven. Bake 11-12 minutes, rotating halfway through. Do not over bake the cookies. It's actually okay if they are slightly under cooked, they will continue to bake as they cool.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if you like the additional salt.
- Once completely cooled, move to an airtight container and store on the counter/fridge for 1 week or freezer for 3 months.
