Coconut Brown Butters
INGREDIENTS:
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 lb butter
1/8 cup water (might need more)
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
4 cups dried, unsweetened coconut chips
DIRECTIONS:
Oven @ 325 F
BROWN BUTTER:
Melt butter over medium heat until it starts to turn golden brown and smell nutty, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, cool slightly and add water (should end up with 1 cup water/butter total per batch, keep brown bits in the liquid!). Chill until solid.
COOKIES:
Whisk dry together.
Slightly soften butter (if needed) and cream with sugars until very light and fluffy.
Add in eggs & vanilla and beat well.
Add dry to wet on low and mix until just combined (5-10 seconds).
Pulse in coconut.
Portion and chill completely.
Bake until lightly golden brown on edges, rotating at 5 minutes.
Tap pan on counter when pulled from oven to help cookies fall.
