THE BEST COOKIE WE'VE EVER EATEN !

Hands down this is the best cookie we’ve ever eaten - not just made ourselves- but ever ever eaten. Just say it out loud and you can almost taste it: BRONED BUTTER COOKIE (WITH MASCARPONE VANILLA FROSTING and a little grated dark chocolate on top).

This one makes 12 cookies (about 80g dough weight per cookie)

400 g of Buns & Brioche mix
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
250 g butter - browned and slightly cooled
115 g granulated sugar
100 g light brown sugar / brun farin (exchange for normal sugar if you want the cookies less chewy and more crunchy)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs

Brown the sugar and leave to cool a little.

Mix together the dry goods. Heat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (fan/convection).

In the mixer add both sugars and the browned butter and mix for 5 minutes. Add vanilla extract and then the dry mix. Mix for 5 minutes.

Place either in plastic film or baking paper and place in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.

Take the dough out from the fridge - cut into 12 pieces of approx 80g, and roll them into balls. Give them a good squeeze with the palm of your hand, then press the bottom of a glass into the dough, to give it an indent and edge. We place the down between the "V" of our thumb and index finger to keep it nice and round. Place on a baking paper. Now do the rest.

Bake for 8 minutes, turn around the baking tray and bake for another 7 minutes. Take out the cookies and with a glass (bigger than the first), give the middle another squeeze and let cool.

Then get ready to fill the cookies (we use the mascarpone filling below - but you can also fill it with an apple/pecan/cinnamon/caramel filling and other flavours that work well with a "heavy browned butter cookie" :-):
