1. B rown butter directions: Melt butter over medium heat in saucepan stirring constantly. It will get foamy, then turn clear golden and VERY quickly start to turn brown and smell nutty. Don’t take your eyes off it. Once it is a nut-brown color, remove from heat and pour into a measuring cup. Add 2 tablespoons of water or enough to bring the total butter measurement back to 1 cup. Chill browned butter in the fridge 1 - 2 hours until it solidifies or in the freezer, but check that it doesn’t freeze solid. 2. S crape all of chilled browned butter into a large mixing bowl. Add sugars and beat together until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Add almond flour, baking soda and salt. Add coconut chips and 2 tsp water. 3. U sing 1” metal cookie scoop, place batter onto baking sheet and be sure to arrange with lots of room for spreading - flatten the dough slightly with wet palm. Bake 14 minutes or until golden brown.
