What is Browned Butter?

This is the secret. The cat is out the bag. Browned butter is regular butter that has been cooked over medium-low heat, until it has turned a warm amber colour. Once browned, it gives a nutty aroma that provides such a great, and distinctive flavour. Paired with the skor toffee bits, it’s to die for!

How to Make Browned Butter

All you need is butter, a pan (preferably light in colour), and something to stir it with.

Step One: Add Butter to Small Skillet or Pot, cut butter into smaller pieces, and place into a small skillet.

Step Two: Heat Butter, heat skillet or pot over medium-low heat. Once melted, the butter will begin to foam and sizzle. You want to ensure a constant stir to prevent burning. Once browned, you will visibly see the colour change to amber/golden yellow and the smell will be nutty, buttery, and distinctively bold.

Step Three: Remove, remove the butter from the heat and transfer to a heat safe dish to cool.

TSS Tip: Use room temperature butter (if you use cold butter is has the tendency to splatter and burn easily).

Where to Find Toffee Bits?

You can find them at many grocery stores in the Chipits Brand in the baking aisle where chocolate chips are kept, or at bulk food stores such as Bulk Barn.

Recipe Tips for Browned Butter Skor Toffee Cookies

1. When browning your butter, cut butter into smaller pieces. Ensure it’s at room temp and don’t stop stirring to ensure even cooking, and use a light colour pan to know when your butter is browned and ready to be removed from the heat.
2. If you want a slightly thicker or “dough-i-er” cookie, add another 1/4 to 1/3 cup of flour to the cookie dough.
3. Ensure your butter is cooled to room temperature, especially when adding the egg to the sugar-butter mixture. Cooked eggs are not apart of the recipe.
4. Chill your dough. This can be difficult especially when warm cookies are in view, but I can guarantee you’ll have even better tasting cookies if you allow your dough to cool.

Browned Butter Skor Toffee Cookie Last Minute Tips

• When browning butter, be very vigilant and don’t allow it to get too brown as the liquids will start to evaporate.
• The more brown bits and specks at the bottom of the pan are toasted milk solids, ensure to include it in the cookie batter – this is where most of the flavour comes from.
• 10 mins on 350 degrees Fahrenheit is all you need!

The Best Browned Butter Skor Toffee Cookies, this cookie is delightfully soft, chewy, crispy around the edges and very easy to make! They are made using flavourful browned butter, skor toffee bits and a hint of vanilla; which make for a very irresistible treat! This is a cookie recipe that deliciously addictive and makes for the perfect sweet snack, bake sale treat or cookie box gift! Recipe also includes easy steps for browning butter!

Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted (Browned) Butter softened/room temperature
• 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
• 3/4 cup Granulated White Sugar
• 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
• 2 Eggs
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 2 cups All Purpose Flour spooned and leveled
• 3/4 - 1 cup Skor or Regular Toffee Bits

Instructions

1

Over medium-low heat, melt butter in a saucepan. Allow to simmer until the butter begins to turn a warm amber color with a nutty aroma. Pour the butter (including the more browned pieces settled at the bottom) into a mixing bowl. Allow to cool to room temperature, around 15 minutes. Once butter has cooled, add brown sugar and white granulated sugar to the bowl, mix until well incorporated ensuring to scrap down the sides.

2

Add eggs one at a time, mixing in-between each addition. Add vanilla, mix until incorporated.

3

Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Fold in skor bits, do not overmix batter. Place dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes to cool.

4

Preheat oven to 350°F or 177°C. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat; set aside.

5

Remove from fridge, scoop about a heaping tablespoon of the cookie dough at a time and roll into balls (use a cookie scoop if you have one on hand, mine were 40g each)

6

Place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10 minutes until edges golden brown. The centers will still be soft for "soft and chewy cookies". For crispier cookies, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes.

7

Remove from oven and allow to rest for a few minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
