Brown Butter Makes it Better!

Brown Butter Makes it Better!

Have you tried cookie recipes that have you brown the butter? Oh my – it is a game changer! Makes regular chocolate chip cookies a decadent treat! It gives your baked goods such a wonderful deep, rich flavor. These cookies not only have brown butter and dark chocolate – they also have bits of toffee!

I used the recipe below, but I used dark chocolate chips and I put a few chocolate chips on the warm cookies right after I popped them out of the oven to make them look pretty.

These are crunchy and sweet and a bit salty from the toffee. What a perfect combination for a cookie!

Cute to share in a little parchment envelope with a bow.

Grab a glass of milk and a handful of cookies and get ready to binge watch your favorite shows! Or to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful spring sunshine! Love this time of year!!! Enjoy!

I did add about 1/3 pound of browned sausage, the boys at this house loved it. I forgot to take photos, but trust me – this would be a hit at your dinner table this week!
