Ingredients
1 pkg My Better Batch Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix
6 TBSP Unsalted Butter
- 1 Large Egg
Directions
Prep Work
Preheat the oven to 375°F. If you’d like, line the cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Brown the Butter
In a light-colored saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat, melt 6 tablespoons of butter. As the butter melts, it will begin to bubble and form a foam on top. Gently swirl the pan and stir with a spatula, being careful not to let the butter burn. When the butter starts to boil, you'll notice small solid particles at the bottom of the pan turning golden brown. Once the butter reaches an amber brown color, remove it from the heat and pour it into a bowl to cool completely.
Combine Cookie Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 package of My Better Batch’s Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix, the cooled brown butter, and 1 large egg. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed to fully combine.
If you don’t have a mixer, hand-kneading is a great way to combine the ingredients! Check out the Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix video for a demonstration.Form the Brown Butter Cookies and Bake
