In this episode, I break down how to make perfect brown butter chocolate chip cookies and why they work. From nutty, caramelised butter to soft centres and crisp edges, it’s all about understanding the science behind flavour and texture.

I’ll show you how browning butter changes depth of flavour, how sugar choice affects spread and chew, and why resting your dough makes a real difference. This is the same base recipe I use professionally and one I come back to time and time again.

If you love baking with intention and want to understand the how and why behind great results, you’re in the right place.
