Brown butter is one of my favorite adds to any recipe. It is excellent on all kinds of fish and meats, over pasta and in sweets. It imparts a super nutty flavor which gives whatever you’re adding it to an incredible depth of flavor. Some of you might be asking “What the heck is brown butter?!” Simply put, you are cooking butter over medium heat until the milk fats separate out and turn a golden, brown color. If you need a demo, check out this video on my Reels: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CQFH2oDnToM/. That brings me to this recipe! These chocolate chip cookies are NEXT LEVEL when you go the extra step and brown your butter. Trust me.
