ingredients
Cookies
- 2 1/2 cups flour

Method
Brown Butter
Step 1
Pour the heavy cream into a bowl and using an electric mixer or stand mixer (or a butter churner) beat the cream until the fat solids separate from the liquid for about 10-12 min as in the IG reel.
Step 2
In a large bowl, wash the butter in cold water, replace the water and repeat the process until the water no longer looks milky.
Step 3
Place the butter in a pan over medium heat. Stir and keep watching to make sure that it is not burned. Once the butter is lightly brown and smells nutty, remove the pan from the heat and pour the butter into a medium bowl. Let it cool at room temp.
Cookies
Step 1
In another medium bowl, stir the flours, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, add the cooled brown butter, softened butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until fluffy and creamy using an electric mixer.
Step 2
Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and combine them well. Add chocolate chips and hazelnuts and stir.
Step 4
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or better overnight.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Step 6
Scoop the dough 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet using a medium ice cream scoop. Press a few more chocolate chips on the top of the cookie balls.
Step 7
Bake around 11-12 min until nicely browned.
