Let's wrap up this year on a sweet note! If you have never made cookies with brown butter, may I suggest that you New Years Resolve to do so. "Browning" your butter - a fancy word for melting it until it starts to cook - is an easy way to add a unique, rich flavor to not only baked goods, but savory sauces and more.
