    Our lives were forever changed when we visited Brown Butter Cookie Company along the central coast of California in a town called Cayucos. This Brown Butter Cookie Company Recipe makes thick, buttery cookies with a nutty flavor and the perfect amount of sea salt on top. This copycat recipe is a huge crowd-pleaser!

    Why you’ll love this recipe

    These cookies are little bits of heaven! The first time me and my family bit into a cookie, we were in love with the unique and wonderful flavor profile of these cookies. The intensity of the nutty flavor of the brown butter mixed with the sea salt on top is unmatched. These cookies are super thick and dense with a crumbly, but definitely not dry, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

    Here are just a few of the many reasons why you'll love this recipe:

    • This is a very simple cookie recipe that produces incredible cookies
    • Browned butter, need I say more? The nutty aroma is reason enough to make this recipe. The depth of flavor this magical ingredient adds to these cookies is simply incredible
    • There are very few ingredients in this amazing recipe, it comes together quickly, no chill time required and no stand mixer or handheld electric mixer required

    Ingredients & substitutions for brown butter cookies

    This recipe requires only simple ingredients. The ingredients are listed on the back of each package of cookies purchased from the Brown Butter Cookie Company.

    So to make this copycat recipe, it was just a matter of figuring out the proper proportions and method. Through lots of trial and error, this recipe emerged as the closest match to the cookies you can purchase.

    Here's what you'll need:

    • Brown butter: browning butter adds the most delicious nuttiness to this recipe! It takes just a few minutes to prepare, too.
    • Brown sugar: I recommend using light brown sugar in this recipe. Dark brown sugar adds a layer of caramel flavor that competes with the brown butter in this recipe. Do not substitute with white sugar (granulated sugar). White sugar and brown sugar act very differently in cooke recipes. Brown sugar maintains moisture and softness while granulated sugar creates a crispy cookie. Additionally, white sugar is not used in the original recipe.
    • Vanilla extract
    • All-purpose flour: be sure to measure your flour correctly by spooning the flour into the measuring cup without packing it down at all. Sweep the top of the measuring cup with a butter knife to level it off. This cookie will not hold together if there's too much flour in the cookie dough.
    • Baking soda
    • Flaky salt: this is sprinkled on top just before baking. Flaky salt is different than coarse salt. Try looking for Fleur De Sel or Flaky sea salt such as Maldon.

    How to make Brown Butter Sea Salt Cookies

    Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

    Step 2

    Prepare the brown butter. I recommend using a light colored skillet for this. It will be much easier to tell when the butter has browned (aka, the milk solids have dropped to the bottom of the pan and browned).

    Step 3

    Add the brown sugar and vanilla to the bowl with the brown butter, mixing to combine

    Step 4

    Add the dry ingredients (flour and baking soda) to the butter mixture and stir just until combined. The mixture will resemble wet sand.

    Note: If your cookie dough is not coming together and seems very dry, try adding a drop more vanilla to the dough, adding more until it comes together.

    Step 5

    Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out cookie dough and roll between your palms to form a smooth ball. Place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the top of cookies with flaky salt

    Step 6

    Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown, rotating the tray halfway through. Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.

    Optional: use the flat bottom of a drinking glass or measuring cup to press down gently on the top of the hot cookies. Sometimes the cookies retain their ball shape while baking, so this helps create more of a cookies shape.

    Pro tips 

    • As much as it may be tempting to take a shortcut and skip browning the butter, I would not recommend substituting melted butter for the brown butter in this recipe. It'll change the flavor profile of the cookies completely. Also, when butter is browned, a bit of the moisture evaporates, decreasing the volume of the butter. Melted butter has up to 25% more volume than browned butter, which can change the proportion of ingredients in the cookie dough. This changes the outcome of the baked cookie
    • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days
    • Freeze in a single layer on a cookie sheet then place in a freezer-safe bag and store up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature

    FAQs

    How do you brown butter without burning?

    Have you ever wondered can you overcook brown butter? The answer is yes! Butter can go from perfectly browned with a pleasant, nutty aroma to black and burnt in the blink of an eye. Learn more about how to properly make Brown Butter for all your baking recipes.

    How do you know when brown butter is done?

    When butter is browning, it goes through a few stages. First it melts, then it sizzles and pops then it foams. Once it settles down and stops making noise, you should see amber-colored, golden brown bits at the bottom. You can also smell a delightful nutty aroma. This is how you know the butter is done browning. Learn more here!

      I just made these for the first time and they are delicious! I used dark brown sugar because that is what I had--it does have a more caramelized taste than the original cookie. Next time I will use light brown sugar.

        That's great! The dark brown sugar does make the cookie darker in color and it gives it a more caramelized flavor. Glad you baked this recipe and loved it!

      I just made these and so wanted them to turn out. Unless something magical happens as the cool beyond the first 10 min, they crumble into a little pile the second you touch them. The crumbs taste fantastic but not the result I hope for.

        I'm sorry to hear that Jacqui... Next time I'd recommend squeezing the dough together in your hand to be sure it stays together. And you could try adding a touch more liquid to help it stay together, too.

      These turned out AWESOME! Have eaten the cookies you mention like they were never going to be made again, the taste was imbedded in my memory. So grateful you figured it out, I will brown my butter a little more next time as that was the first time I did that and I was petrified I was over-cooking or burning it. I think it’s about 7-10 mins, right?! They turned out the perfect consistency and tasted nearly as good as the originals. Thank you so much!! Can’t wait to make them again.

      I needed a shortbread to crumble for the top of my Pineapple Delight, which I make every every Easter. My recipe calls for a Lorna Doone (shortbread) crumbled crust and crumbles on top of the dessert as well. So I didn't want to go to the grocery store & decided to make my own, searching kickassbaker.com for the 'best' shortbread recipe. Well, I think I found it! I love the nuttiness if the browned butter! And the simplicity of the recipe was certainly appreciated. The family loved the cookies and asked for more. I only made a half batch since short on time, only needing for crumbs, and experimenting as well. But the experiment was 5-star. I will make these again! Thank you!

      I had the distinct pleasure eating the original brown butter salted cookies last fall while visiting California. I made these cookies last night. They are just wonderful! They have a great flavor - nutty, salty, buttery, rich, and texture. Mine did not get flat as they baked, but this did not detract from their completely addictive properties. Five stars for sure.

      Now if I can only quit eating them….

            They really are the best cookie ever! I haven't tried adding espresso, but I recommend adding 1 teaspoon espresso powder directly into the cookie dough. You may need to add a touch more extract to prevent the dough from being too dry and crumbly. Add just enough so the dough comes together when squeezed in your hand. Good luck!

      Absolutely love this recipe - I have one question. I have made them twice, and both times, the cookie maintains its ball shape. I have followed the recipe as written, so how do the cookies flatten while baking?

      Reply
      • Kimberlee Ho

        November 17, 2023 at 10:21 am

        They don't flatten much during baking. So, you can gently press down the hot out of the oven cookies with something flat and smooth like the bottom of a measuring cup or drinking glass. You can flatten the cookie dough balls a bit too in this same way before baking if you prefer a flatter cookie.

          This recipe is incredibly misleading, unless you are an expert level cookie maker you are going to get sandy cookies. They keep replying just add more liquid, why didn't you add that to the recipe? I really don't think it deserves the rating it has. I did the method where if they fall apart add more liquid, thay didn't solve anything for me, the cookies still turned out incredibly sandy and they ended up falling apart.

            Thanks for your feedback, Josh. I don't believe you need to be an expert level cookie maker to make these, as I am not expert level, either. I am a home baker. I realize these can be tricky, but it is never my intent to mislead - why would I want to do that? I wrote the recipe exactly as I've made it many times. And as you can see from others, it has been replicated successfully. I will do my best to update the recipe as needed based on re-testing to make sure it's as clear as possible for other home bakers to make in their home kitchens.

      I only had salted butter at home, so I deleted the salt sprinkle. I was just in Cayucos last week, and purchased some cookies from the Brown Butter Cookie Company. I gave them a run for the money (and your recipe was a lot cheaper too.) I will add this recipe to my holiday cookie extravaganza.
      Awesome recipe!
      Thanks

      These will be in the “cookie rotation” for us!

      I had never made brown butter before but this recipe is one of the easiest I’ve made.

      I made two batches and for the second one I added 2 handfuls of toasted and chopped pecans to the dough - highly recommend!

      I think I am still getting a feel for the right dough consistency. My first batch spread a lot and the second batch spread too little, but both tasted great 🙂

      I found this recipe because I was looking for a dupe of the Cayucos cookie recipe and these did not disappoint!! The only thing I did different was added a pinch of salt to the batter before baking and for half the batch I added semisweet chocolate chips which ended up being so good! 10/10 recommend

      I have made this recipe many times, always to perfection. I live near Cayucos,CA and love getting cookies from the BBCC! I made the cookies today, no changes, and the dough was far too “wet” so I added a bit more flour. In the oven they flattened out, even chilled! What happened??? My oven is calibrated. Help me!!!!!

        Oh man, I don't know what could have gone wrong! I hope you'll try again, especially since you've been successful so many times in the past.

      My husband said these were the best cookies I ever made and he loves my chocolate chip cookies. I'm making another batch for my bookclub meeting on Tuesday and adding some pecans.

      Hello!!! My husband absolutely loves the chocolate version of these cookies, do you have any suggestions as to how this recipe could be adjusted to turn them into the chocolate ones? Possibly replace some flour with cocoa powder?
      Thank you for your help!!

        Hi! So glad to hear this! The ingredients on the cocoa cookies on their website are exactly the same as the original cookies, with the addition of cocoa powder. So, yes, I would try reducing the amount of flour in this recipe by 1/4 cup and adding in 1/4 cup cocoa powder. I don't know the exact amounts, but that's where I would start! Let me know how it comes out if you try it.

      We live in San Luis Obispo county and often go by the Brown Butter Cookie Company to get samples. Although we love the cookies, they're expensive so we wanted to try them at home! This recipe blew us away and we think tastes even better than the ones in the store! We used grass fed butter and squished them a bit to flatten, making them perfectly crunchy 🤪 Thank you for this excellent recipe!

      Hi! These are just simply the best! Thanks for this recipe. Please can you tell me how I might add cocoa powder to this recipe in order to make the cocoa ones they have? I would SO appreciate it.

        So happy you love them! I would try substituting 1/4 of the flour with 1/4 cup of cocoa powder. I haven't tried it myself, but that's where I would start!
