Do

1: Premake the brown butter well in advance so that it is chilled.
2: Place the butter, sugars and vanilla into the Thermomix bowl and chop 10 sec/speed 5. Scrape bowl with a spatula and repeat until well combined.
3: Insert Butterfly. Whip 1 min/Butterfly/speed 4. Remove Butterfly.
4: Add remaining ingredients except chocolate and blend 10 sec/speed 6. Scrape down sides of bowl and repeat.
5: Fold through chocolate chips and nuts using a spatula.
6: Preheat oven to 170°C.
7: Line a baking tray and roll tablespoon sized balls of dough, arrange on tray. Press to flatten slightly.
8: Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
9: Bake 15 minutes until golden.
10: If you are feeling fancy, garnish with some edible gold leaf when cold. I use the gold leaf that comes in a jar, in pieces. The cookie is sticky enough to just press the gold leaf on top and it will stay. I initially used a paint brush, but it was easier just to use my fingers.
