I've made these cookies twice now and both times they turned out wonderful and delicious my husband and family loved them especially since they have fewer calories. I had no problems browning the butter. I used all white whole wheat flour instead of white and whole wheat together. I also used 60% cacao chocolate chips to make them even more healthy. I will definitely keep this recipe.
Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Butter moves from nutty and brown to bitter and burned quickly, so be sure to take the pan off the heat once it turns amber-brown. To keep cookies from spreading, make sure the cookie sheet is completely cool before starting the next batch.
