You know who I'm talking about.
Maybe.
Well it's Sunday again, so I'm baking. Today I chose to make Browned Butter & Brown Sugar Cookies from "The Novice Chef." The recipe is here.
I just started making the cookie dough. I didn't change anything about this recipe except I'm running a little low on brown sugar, so I packed the brown sugar lightly. I love browned butter so we'll see how these cookies turn out. If you've never had it, it has a nutty buttery flavor...it's great for a lot of things. Like browned butter sauce (with sage!) and this other sauce I made in my culinary class (it had lemon and capers in it, for seared fish). Browned butter is very versatile and it's a great way to add a new depth of flavor to a recipe. I have the browned butter cooling right now!
Okay! I baked the dough! One batch I baked right away (and rolled in sugar like the recipe suggests) but they turned out sad and flat...I like refrigerating my dough before baking so I did that with the next batch. And I didn't roll it in sugar because damn those cookies were sugary! And that's coming from me...I love sugar. That's gnarly. But they did rise a bit and looked much nicer! So see what you like, experiment before you go ahead and bake all the dough!
