Brown Butter Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In small saucepan, melt butter, stirring occasionally, until bubbly and golden brown. Cool completely.
• In medium bowl, stir together cookie mix, browned butter, egg, water and coconut until well mixed. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 8 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Store cooled cookies in airtight container.

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center and upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. On one baking sheet, spread out shredded coconut. Toast coconut for about 6 minutes, until browned and fragrant. Remove from the oven, place in a small bowl and let cool. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. The butter will begin to foam and crackle. That's a great sign. That means that the water is evaporating from the butter. Once the crackling subsides, keep an eye on the butter. The butter solids will begin to brown. You'll smell the butter as it browns. Once well browned, immediately remove the butter from the flame and place in a small bowl. Removing the butter from the pan will ensure that it doesn't continue to cook and burn in the hot pan. Allow the butter to cool for a few moments. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, measure granulated and brown sugar. Add the brown butter and beat together, on medium speed, for about 2 minutes. The sugar may still look grainy. That's ok. Add the egg and egg yolk and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. The mixture should become silky smooth. Add vanilla extract and beat. With mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients. Beat until just incorporated. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a spatula to fold in the toasted coconut and chocolate chips. Dough will be thick. Cookies can be baked immediately, or the dough can be left in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. Spoon balls by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown but still slightly soft in the center. Remove from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Toast coconut in a medium skillet over low heat, until light brown.
• Let cool.
• Preheat oven to 350°.
• In large bowl or mixer, on low speed, mix all ingredients (except chocolate chips) together (with the shortening being soft, it mixes easily and does not have to be creamed first).
• Stir in chocolate chips.
• Drop level 1/4 cups dough, about 2-inches apart, on ungreased cookie sheet, pressing dough lightly to form rounds.
• Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden.
• Let cool a couple of minutes. Transfer cookies to cooling rack to finish cooling.
