Ingredients
– 1 cup unsalted butter
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup brown sugar, packed
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup cornmeal
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
Creating these delicious Brown Butter Corn Cookies can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2. Mix Sugars: In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Pour the slightly cooled brown butter over the sugars and mix until well combined.
3. Add Eggs & Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
6. Add Corn Kernels: Gently fold in the sweet corn kernels, ensuring they are spread evenly throughout the dough.
7. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. This will help the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
8. Preheat Oven: While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
9. Scoop the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
10. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked; they will continue to firm up as they cool.
11. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
