Salted Brown Butter Walnut Rye Chocolate Chip Cookies

Step 1

In a saucepan, add 1 stick of your butter and heat over medium heat while stirring.

The butter will crackle and bubble as it cooks. Brown crumbs will form in the bottom.

Step 2

Cook until medium in color, think a shade lighter than what you want.

It should take about 2 ½ to 3 minutes.

Pour butter into a bowl, trying to keep as much of the crumbs as possible in the sauté pan. Let cool for 15-20 minutes.

Sift the flours, baking soda, and salt together.
