# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Line baking trays with parchment paper.
02 -
Melt the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat, stirring continuously. Cook until the butter turns a deep amber color and emits a nutty fragrance, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated white sugar and light brown sugar. Carefully add the warm brown butter and whisk until smooth.
04 -
Crack the eggs into a separate bowl. Add a tablespoon of the warm sugar-butter mixture to the eggs, whisking thoroughly to temper. Once tempered, whisk the eggs into the main sugar mixture until fully incorporated.
05 -
In another bowl, combine the gluten-free baking flour, corn flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Mix thoroughly.
06 -
Gradually add the dry ingredient blend into the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms.
07 -
Fold the fresh corn kernels into the dough, ensuring even distribution.
08 -
Place the dough in the freezer for 25 minutes to firm up.
09 -
Scoop the chilled dough using a cookie scoop and arrange on the prepared baking trays, spaced evenly. Bake for 13-16 minutes at 175°C, until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
10 -
Allow the cookies to rest on the baking trays briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Tempering the eggs helps avoid scrambling when they are mixed into the warm butter-sugar mixture.
02 -
For optimal cookie texture, be sure to chill the dough thoroughly before baking.
03 -
Using fresh corn kernels delivers a distinct sweetness and burst of flavor compared to canned or frozen alternatives.
