Equipment

Ingredients

  • 100 grams butter browned
  • 60 grams cane sugar
  • 100 grams light brown sugar
  • 1 egg small
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
  • 1 banana medium
  • 150 grams plain white flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 150 grams dark chocolate chopped roughly

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan on medium.
  • It will melt, bubble, and then foam. Stir constantly to assess the progress.
  • After a few minutes, it will turn amber and smell nutty, and brown specks will rise to the top. Your brown butter is done.
  • In a large bowl mix the hot butter with the sugar for one minute (the mixture will be coarse).
  • Add the banana and whisk again for 1 minute.
  • Pour in the egg and vanilla. Mix until creamy.
  • Fold in the flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
  • Add 120 grams of the chocolate and mix.
  • Place the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 170°C (338°F).
  • Use a medium cookie cutter or spoon to scoop out the cookie dough.
  • Space them apart on a lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for around 8 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is just set.
  • Bang the baking sheet on a hard surface when the cookies are just out of the oven.
  • Shape the warm cookies with a round glass or large round cookie cutter.
  • Transfer to a baking sheet and bake the next batch.
