Easy Homemade Cookies

I love a good chocolate chip cookie.  Who doesn’t!?!?

While I love the traditional cookie recipes, I’ve been trying out different versions and flavors.  Nothing too crazy.  Just a hint of something special.

These Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are just that.  A traditional soft chocolate chip cookie with a unique hint of flavor, thanks to the brown butter.

Have you tried brown butter yet?  It gives dishes a more complex, nutty flavor.

It does require a bit more effort.  And I will not say that it is as easy as cooking butter on the stove top.  Brown butter goes from delicious golden brown to burned very quickly.  So be aware . . . and don’t you dare walk away from that pan while preparing brown butter!

Check out this awesome How To Brown Butter Tutorial before you get started!  It has step by step photos and detailed instructions.

Once you prepare the brown butter and let it cool to a spreadable consistency, you are ready to get those chocolate chip cookies started!

Is there anything better than Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies dipped in milk!?!?

Nope.
