I love this blog, thank you thank you! PJ, is there anything special about melting the butter+sugar together for other recipes as well? I'm thinking it could save me a step while making cookies. Any ideas? And I'm just going to throw this out there: I make spicy brownies and they're fantastic. I add a bit of dried chiles (ancho chili) and cinnamon. It sounds weird, but for a little something different, they're amazing. Carmel, I've made brownies with black pepper, and brownies with cayenne - WHOOO-EEE. Interesting. I thinnk if you melt butter and sugar together for cookies, the cookies will be flatter/spread more. But give it a try - PJH
