Step up your chocolate chip cookie game with these delicious, flavorful, and chewy brown butter chocolate chip cookies.
Like probably many of you, despite all of the warnings from our government (lol), I downloaded TikTok in the q. I love all of the Vine Energy that I get on my FYP, cute animals, babies, and recipe videos! So, I decided I would jump right in and make my own TikTok.
Yes, these brown butter chocolate chip cookies were for TikTok. #DoItForTheGram but make it 2020, you know? I’m too old for this. (And now, as of Monday September 14, I’ve watched the new social media documentary on Netflix and want to delete all social media, so…)
Anyway… it’s Monday. We’re still in the middle of a pandemic, the west coast is on fire and things still kinda suck. Let’s make the transition into the work and school week a little easier and bake some cookies. Let’s take your moms or grandmas recipe and crank it up just a bit with some brown butter and a generous sprinkling of flaky sea salt.
