Salted Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was scrollin thru Instagram the other night, when I came across a beautiful picture of chocolate chip cookies by @tojo827 (thanks for the recipe!!)

Some may consider chocolate chip cookies the most simple of cookies, but I was so intrigued.

I decided to try the recipe and add some flake salt for an added depth of flavor. I love sweet and salty treats!

I purchased the flake salt from William Sonoma. Maldon also has a flake salt that may be available at your local grocery store. Any finishing salt will work here 🙂

Lets talk about brown butter. It is nothing more than butter, that has been browned. Pretty simple right? The flavor however, is far from simple. It is rich, nutty and the aroma will fill your home with the most wonderful scent. Brown butter works in a variety of things; from cookies to pasta and everything in between:)
