Brown Butter Ginger Cookies
Fri, 6th of May
Browning half the butter in these cookies gives them a rich caramel flavour. I also used my dark ginger chocolate, broken into chunks, and a little ground ginger in the cookie dough for an additional hit of flavour. These are crispy and chewy with rich caramel, chocolate and warm ginger running through them- what's not to like?!

- 8 oz (225g) butter

- ½ cup (60g) pecans
- 1. Place ½ the butter in a pan and melt over a medium heat until butter begins to brown and caramlise. Be careful not to burn it but keep browning until you get a strong caramel smell. Pour into a small bowl and allow to cool for 20 mins.
