BROWN BUTTER TOASTED COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



BROWN BUTTER TOASTED COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES image

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and browned to about 3/4 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt (depending on how salty you like things)
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup toasted coconut (I used unsweetened, but sweetened will work as well)
1 cup dark chocolate chunks

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center and upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. On one baking sheet, spread out shredded coconut. Toast coconut for about 6 minutes, until browned and fragrant. Remove from the oven, place in a small bowl and let cool. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. The butter will begin to foam and crackle. That's a great sign. That means that the water is evaporating from the butter. Once the crackling subsides, keep an eye on the butter. The butter solids will begin to brown. You'll smell the butter as it browns. Once well browned, immediately remove the butter from the flame and place in a small bowl. Removing the butter from the pan will ensure that it doesn't continue to cook and burn in the hot pan. Allow the butter to cool for a few moments. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, measure granulated and brown sugar. Add the brown butter and beat together, on medium speed, for about 2 minutes. The sugar may still look grainy. That's ok. Add the egg and egg yolk and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. The mixture should become silky smooth. Add vanilla extract and beat. With mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients. Beat until just incorporated. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a spatula to fold in the toasted coconut and chocolate chips. Dough will be thick. Cookies can be baked immediately, or the dough can be left in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. Spoon balls by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown but still slightly soft in the center. Remove from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

You can probably find it at your local health food store and I know Trader Joe's carries it with their baking goods.

BROWN BUTTER CINNAMON COCONUT COOKIES



Brown Butter Cinnamon Coconut Cookies image

Obtained online. http://www.cookingactress.com/2013/04/brown-butter-cinnamon-coconut-cookies.html

Provided by Chrystal Cackler @journeyrock92

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 cup(s) all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1 tablespoon(s) ground cinnamon
1/2 cup(s) unsalted butter, browned and then cooled until softened, not melted
3/4 cup(s) brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup(s) granulated sugar
1 - egg
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 cup(s) shredded coconut

Steps:

  • If toasting the coconut, do so using whichever method you prefer. To brown the butter: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly as the butter foams and eventually little brown bits form. Immediately pour into a large bowl and then place in the refrigerator. It will take about 1 hour for the butter to reach a soft, but not melted, consistency. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. When the browned butter has reached the right consistency, add the brown and granulated sugars to the large bowl and beat together for 2-3 minutes until creamy. Beat egg and vanilla into the butter/sugar mixture. Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the rest, forming a thick dough.
  • Gently stir (or use hands if needed) the coconut into the dough. Refrigerate dough until cold, for about an hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet(s) with parchment paper or silpat (you'll need either 2 cookie sheets or use 1 sheet and bake in 2 batches:which is what I did).
  • Roll chilled dough into 1-2 inch balls (mine were the sizes of ping pong balls) and place about 3 inches apart on cookie sheet(s). If desired, you can freeze the balls for 15 minutes prior to baking. Bake 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set. Let sit on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
