Salted Brown Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Chewy cookies with crisp edges, a hint of toffee, and a sprinkle of fleur de sel.
Hey y'all! I'm really sorry I haven't posted anything in ages, but I've been really really busy for the past couple of weeks. It's not that I haven't been baking (I've been baking as usual haha) but I haven't had the time to edit nice photos and write posts. It's just been an overload of homework, proposals, class stuff, and running about getting things done for the people around me. In a way it does give me a sense of satisfaction that I've done so much, but at the end of the day I'm so exhausted to do much that really makes me happy, and to spend some time on my own.
The year has been great so far- I've been taking up new roles, doing more things, and getting used to having to get home late everyday and rushing out homework and proposals. But I've also gained new friends, and a part of me feels a sense of belonging to people whom I can get along with, to a group of people that I can lean on in times of need, a group of people who will accept me for who I am and what I do. The bonds of friendship are irreplaceable and priceless, and I am thankful for that.
But back to these cookies-- these are the best I have ever tasted. The coarsely chopped chocolate are goey and melty, and the brown butter brings a hint of toffee and butterscotch that hits the back of your tongue as you chew on the last morsel of the cookie. The salt really balances out the sweet cookie and bitter chocolate, and I love the crisp edges and chewy centres.
Chocolate chip cookie brought to a whole new level of sophistication.
