Extra Nutty Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Nibbles & Bites Issue #5: Secret Revealed...

My biggest pet peeve when it comes to using brown butter in baked goods is that the final product doesn’t always taste nutty enough for me, and the brown butter can often hardly be detected in the final product. I have a slightly unorthodox solution that elevates that toasty flavor and brings it to the forefront of your palate.

I particularly enjoyed making this recipe because of the delicious aroma it creates-reminiscent of toffee and butterscotch-that makes your entire kitchen smell divine. I also decided to roll a few of my cookies in black and white sesame seeds for a confetti effect, and because I like people to know what flavors to expect before biting into the. Lining the cookie sheets with parchment paper helped keep clean-up to a minimum, so these are great low-effort cookies to make on a chilly, and snoozy afternoon.
