\"Cookies<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Caramel is one of my favorite flavors.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

…Maybe I should stop saying favorite though, because I think I’ve also said my favorite is chocolate, cinnamon sugar, pumpkin, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, it’s incredible. The buttery flavor of caramel is SO GOOD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think brown butter is very similar. When you brown butter it cooks it down and concentrates the flavor. You’re left with a caramel-like, toffee, nutty taste.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining brown butter, chocolate chips and pecans in these cookies makes me think of heath bars<\/strong>. The combination of chocolate, caramel-like brown butter, and buttery pecans is simply incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, it’s really easy too!<\/strong> There’s a few extra steps to these compared to traditional Chocolate Chip Cookies, but none of them are complicated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you love caramel, butter, chocolate, nuts… you’ve gotta make these Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what’s different with this cookie recipe?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, you’ll cook the butter in a pan on the stove.<\/strong> Medium heat, constantly stirring, for about 5-8 minutes. The butter will foam on top and underneath the color will start to change. Once the color starts to get to a medium brown, remove it from the stove. If it gets too dark, you’ve overcooked your butter and you’ll need to start over (watch your butter like a hawk!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, your butter will need to cool for about 15 minutes.<\/strong> Or, when you add it to your batter it will be too hot and could cook your eggs. And, melt your chocolate chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of this recipe is a bit of a waiting game.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After your butter has cooled, you’ll make your cookie dough just like any other cookie recipe.<\/strong> Creaming the butter with brown and white sugar (although it won’t get quite as creamy as a softened butter would).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, you’ll add your vanilla, egg and extra egg yolk.<\/strong> As your butter cooks down it loses extra moisture. Adding an extra egg yolk gives a little extra moisture and fat, so your cookies will be nice and tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, you’ll add all your dry ingredients: gluten-free all purpose flour blend<\/a> (with xantham gum), cornstarch (optional, but recommended), baking soda and salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After, you should have a thick cookie dough that you’ll fold in your chocolate chips and pecans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last, these cookies need to chill for at least one hour<\/strong>, because the butter we started out with was melted (and hot!). After one hour, you can bake them for a pretty classic cookie (like pictured). After two hours of chilling, you’ll be left with even thicker cookies (which I love to make too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to add something else to these cookies?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Consider different types of chocolate chips (dark, milk, semi-sweet, cinnamon, butterscotch). I’d also recommend heath bits, in place of the chocolate chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to omit the nuts, if you need these to be nut-free. Or, use walnuts instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An extra sprinkle of flaky sea salt<\/a> on top really makes these incredible too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
