No Chill Time!
So many cookie recipes require a few hours of chill time before you bake them. I understand…I have plenty of those recipes here on my site. But these work without the chilling. The depth of flavor comes from the browned butter so you don’t need it to sit and allow the flavor to develop more, PLUS you have all the additional flavors you are adding in, that while you CAN chill the dough, you don’t have to!
But What If I Don’t Like Butterscotch?
I have never been a huge butterscotch fan… but I learned a few years ago that ACTUAL butterscotch is basically caramel made with brown sugar instead of granulated, which totally blew my mind. The intense butterscotch flavor that is in candies and the chips isn’t the real deal. BUT I do know that TONS of you guys are huge butterscotch [chip] fans. Enter the most perfect cookie in the universe, made with all brown sugar and the EXACT right amount of butterscotch chips to get the point across without being offensive. Add to that browned butter, pretzels and sea salt and you have a cookie ace. These cookies are actually a variation of the cookie that graces the cover of The Cookies & Cups Cookbook! Which if you don’t have my book yet, you NEED it and if you haven’t made those cookies you NEED to!
NO MIXER REQUIRED!
Nope, no mixer is needed for this cookie recipe! BUT you will need some elbow grease. The dough is a little thick, so you really need to get in there to get the chips and pretzels incorporated. Of course, you CAN use your mixer, I often do, but it’s not required or necessary!
Tools I Recommend:
A Cookie Scoop. You know I almost ALWAYS use a cookie scoop when baking cookies. It’s easy, it produces cookies all the same size, to ensure even baking, and the cookies will all be the same shape! Here’s my favorite. Flaked Sea Salt. You can use whatever brand you prefer, but I like to use Maldon. The flakes are delicate and light, adding the perfect salty bite. Parchment Paper. I line my baking sheets with parchment paper to promote even baking and easy clean up!
These cookies turn out gorgeous every time, and I guarantee you that people will be asking for the recipe. I based this cookie recipe off of a cookie I bought at a farmer’s market a few years ago. That cookie was much different…it was large and thin, but the flavors were similar. I really love the thickness and richness of the brown butter cookie dough base in my cookie.
