I recently made a chocolate chip cookie that calls for browning the butter, but I reduced the sugar to half the original weight, and used a slightly sweeter chocolate, and they came out delicious. The recipe also had a large amount of vanilla, a Tablespoon for 20 medium cookies. Was wondering what your thoughts were in using browned butter to add some additional caramelization, to compensate for that lost due to reduction in the sugar.
