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...
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!
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.
