I want to marry you. That’s exactly what you will be saying once you make these cookies. You’ll be saying it even louder once you realize they are made entirely in one saucepan! That means to put your mixer away.

TIPS FOR BAKING THE PERFECT COOKIES

Watch your butter closely! Brown butter can go too dark fast, so keep an eye on it
Get creative with your add-ins! If you prefer dark chocolate or pecans, add them in
Do not over bake your cookies. The centers should look underbaked when you remove them from the oven and will firm up as they cool

HOW TO STORE THESE COOKIES?
