Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 1/2 cups flour (455g)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chunks plus more for drizzling
  • 1 cup brown sugar pop tart, broken in chunks plus one pop tart for topping

Instructions

  1. Begin by browning the butter. Add the butter to a pan over medium low heat. When it melts begin to stir the butter. After a couple minutes it will start to bubble — continue stirring. After another couple minutes the butter will begin to foam up. Keep stirring and you will begin to smell a nutty aroma and see brown in the butter. Take it off the heat and pour the butter into a bowl. Transfer the butter to the freezer for 15 minutes to cool down.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350(F). Transfer cooled brown butter to a mixing bowl and add brown sugar. Mix with a stand or hand mixer for 4-5 minutes, until fully combined and mixture looks more fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until just combined.
  4. Add flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until just combined.
  5. Add white chocolate chunks and pop tart chunks, and mix until evenly distributed.
  6. Using a kitchen scale, weigh out 6oz of dough for each dough ball. Shape it into a cylinder shape and transfer to a lined baking sheet. You can fit about 4-6 cookies on a baking sheet at a time. (If you want to make smaller cookies, go for it! You'll just need to decrease the baking time slightly.)
  7. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cookies are just set and the outside is starting to slightly brown. Let the cookies cool completely.
  8. Once the cookies are cooled, melt some white chocolate and drizzle on top of each cookie. Finish each cookie with a small piece of a brown sugar pop tart. Enjoy!!
