Recipe notes

How to make brown butter?

  • Browning butter requires 100% of your attention as it could easily burn otherwise. The key is to keep stirring and keep an eye on the colour. After the butter has melted, it will start to foam up. When you start to notice golden colour beneath the foam and bits of brown speck – that’s your cue to remove the pan from heat and stop it from cooking.
  • To prevent the brown butter from browning further and burning, you should immediately transfer the brown butter into a heat-proof mixing bowl.
  • It is recommended to cut the butter into equal cubes/slices before you start browning them. This is to ensure the butter gets cooked evenly.

Other recipe notes

  • Want that picture-perfect cookie pie look with mini eggs clearly visible on top? Make sure you have saved some mini eggs to top the cookie dough before baking.
  • A sprinkle of sea salt on top of the cookie adds a different dimension of flavours. Not only does it add a savoury edge, but it also lifts the flavours of the cookie & chocolates.
