Why scorched butter cookies?
We believe that browning the butter gives it a richer and caramelized flavor to the cookies. Bringing back the memories of eating English butter cookies!

Our range of butter cookies contain La Belle D'Andaine. French butter adds a depth of creaminess to the cookies

Origins
The Baking Chemist began selling pineapple tarts with a browned butter base in early 2024.
Since then we adapted the browned butter recipe into our series of cookies, which has a resemblance to the English style butter cookies we enjoyed.
Purpose
Growing up, our family had always enjoyed desserts like connoisseurs. From baking cakes to cookies for New Years, which we believe brings people closer together.
