Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup brown butter
- 1/2 cup soft brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar (castor or refined sugar)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 cup wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Enough chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brown butter, soft brown sugar, and white sugar. Stir just until mixed.
- Add the egg and vanilla essence, and stir again until combined.
- Gradually add the wheat flour, baking soda, and cornstarch. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
- Fold in enough chocolate chips to your liking.
- Chill the Dough:
- Shape the dough into rounds or fill it into an aluminum container. Rest the dough in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) for 10 minutes.
- For regular round cookies, scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake as the cookies will harden as they cool.
- If using an aluminum container, bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the cookies. The cookies are done when they are fragrant and the top surface is golden brown.
