Tony’s Brown Butter Gingerbread Choco Cookies

This wonderful cookie recipe combines not one, but two varieties of Tony’s Chocolonely chocolate, dark and gingerbread, to create a buttery mouthful of deliciousness that is nothing short of cookie heaven.

Ingredients

  • 165g butter
  • 220g Fairtrade brown sugar
  • 270g plain flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 egg at room temperature
  • ½ vanilla bean
  • 1 Tony’s 70% dark chocolate bar (180g), chopped
  • 1 Tony’s 32% gingerbread milk chocolate bar (180g), chopped
  • Sea salt or fleur de sel, for sprinkling

Method

For the brown butter:

  • Melt your butter in a small pot or a frying skillet over medium heat.
  • Stir occasionally to make sure your butter is browning evenly.
  • Once your butter has changed from yellow to golden brown, remove from the pan and cool down over a bowl of ice.
  • Mix with a spatula to cool down and set aside.

For the cookies:

  • Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt together. Set the mixture aside.
  • In a mixer with paddle attachment, beat the cooled brown butter with the sugar until fluffy and light.
  • While the mixer is running add the egg followed by the scraped out contents of the vanilla bean half.
  • Slowly add the sifted dry ingredients and scrape the bowl down.
  • Add the chopped Tony’s (70% pure and gingerbread milk chocolate) and mix to incorporate.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, place the cookie dough on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Chill on a baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes. The longer it chills, the better.
  • Bake at 180°C for about 12 minutes and voila! You’ve got yourself some cookies.
