I experimented with brown butter cookies a few months ago after reading this fascinating article on the science of chocolate chip cookies from Serious Eats: http://sweets.seriouseats.com/2013/12/the-food-lab-the-best-chocolate-chip-cookies.html?utm_content=buffercd607&utm_source=buffer&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Buffer It's a little long, but I highly recommend it. I will definitely be trying Joy's recipe soon and referring to these pictures the whole time. Is the trick to browning butter to just let it sit in the pan and not necessarily stir it? That might be my problem. My current favorite cookie is Shelly's recipe from Cookies and Cups (http://cookiesandcups.com/). It's so simple and try as I might, I haven't screwed it up yet!
