<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Other than fashion my hobbies include spending too much time on tumblr, crying over Supernatural and baking. Recently I've been baking loads of cookies and I wanted to share my latest experiment...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Who doesn't love chewy cookies? They have to be the best kind. These cookies are soft and chewy, with a lightly crisp edge and a crunch of sea salt on top. The browned butter and dark brown sugar really work well with the vanilla to give a slightly nutty flavour.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you don't know how to brown butter, it's just the melting and cooking of butter in a saucepan until it changes to an amber colour. Admittedly, it was a bit tricky, simply because I didn't know what it would look like. After about 5 minutes the butter bubbling like crazy, I decided I'd had enough of a butter-steam facial and took it off the stove. However, when it cooled, at the bottom of the bowl there was a layer of brown butter so it didn't turn out all bad. Of course, you can just omit this step and use plain ol' butter. I'd definitely recommend googling it though!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The trick for extra chewiness is to take them out of the oven earlier. I took mine out when they still had a bit of wobble to the tops. Don't worry if they come out looking tall and cakey - as they cool they fall.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all got dressed up one night, so I jumped at the chance to wear this baby!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In past years we'd eat out every night, but this year was nice and relaxed, we had a few barbecues which was nice. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since we were eating out this night, I decided to put in the effort since we didn't go out often.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I kept accessories to a minimum as the dress is such a statement, so chose my Yin Yan ring from Topshop and my peace necklace I bought in Spain last year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also tied the waist to give the dress a slightly different shape, and I think it worked well!</span><br />
