The BEST Brown Butter Cookies
There are 2 things I make regularly – Cookies and Brownies. No one ever seems to tire of them and they re easy to make. These cookies though are the best cookies ever and anything with brown butter usually is.
It just adds so much depth and delicious nutty toasty flavour. The smell alone is enough to get me salivating.
This recipe has been in the virtual queue for almost a year. It has been in the folder of recipes to go up for so long now that I thought it was time I bumped it to the top of the queue.

Tips for making Brown Butter Cookies
Brown Butter – make sure your brown butter is cool enough to touch before using. I usually set it aside to cool for 10-15 minutes before making the recipe. Also, be sure to scrape every bit of brown butter from your pan.
Fridge Time – This really helps the flavours to develop and inhibits spread. You can keep the dough in the fridge for up to 3 days.
