I have to admit I am a little obsessed with brown butter and my daughter has taken up my obsession. My teenager has been playing around with brown butter cookie recipes and we think she finally found the perfect combination!
She tested lots of different recipes and scoured the comments and three batches later we think we found a winner. This recipe seemed to have a little too much salt for our liking and the chilling of the dough in this recipe seemed to really pull the cookies together. So we took what seemed to be the best of each recipe.
