Butta, Butta, Butta Baby!
Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Pretty much every time I say “butter,” I say “butta” and always add the baby at the end. I have no idea why, but it just makes me feel good 🙂
Okay, back to the recipe…
Today I’m sharing another cookie recipe that I searched high and low for. Â Back when we lived on the Central Coast of California, San Miguel to be exact, we had the pleasure of being gifted an amazing box of cookies from a boutique bakery in Cayucos, CAÂ Brown Butter Cookie Company. Â I love a good shortbread cookie, and these have an amazingly soft and sandy texture with the sweetness of the sugar and savoriness of the brown butter, topped with a sprinkle of sea salt, your taste buds are so delighted after the first bite you’ll end up wanting to eat the entire package.
After we devoured all of our cookies, I was determined to make my own, how hard could it be?  Well, it’s not easy at all.  However, after a bit of digging on the internet, I came across a recipe from Marina Delio and her Yummy Mummy Kitchen blog.  Maria had figured out a recipe that comes very close to the Brown Butter Cookie Company’s recipe, so I gave it a try and sure enough, these are a very close match.
This is another easy recipe that doesn’t take much time or ingredients and will certainly satisfy your salty-sweet tooth.
Now let’s get baking…
