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?!
