. Did the name of this post catch your attention? Well I guess if you're reading this it must have, right? I've been working on honing my creativity but it's still a bit lackluster.
Anywho, did you enjoy reading my post about my recent trip to Washington? I hope so. I absolutely love sharing tid bits about my life with you all [no matter how boring I may be] since 99% of the time all I'm reeling out is baking recipes. I'm trying to bring back a healthy balance here.
And they're an absolute cinch to whip up, so I can bet that your friends and family will be begging for more. I know my coworkers were!
Happy weekend everybody! .
My Notes:
- I opted to use milk chocolate chips this time around but I do think semisweet chocolate would be just as [if not more] wonderful. I felt like the milk chocolate flavor was a bit lost in all of the spices but my coworkers completely disagreed. You can also use mini chocolate chips if you don't prefer big chunks. The choice is always all yours, but just wanted to throw the options out there!
- I used a scant tablespoon of dough per cookie but next time i think I'd use even more because I like my cookies a bit bigger. Also, the cookie dough doesn't spread at all during baking, so if you like flatter cookies then I would slighty press down on them before placing in the oven.

I read the word browned butter and I knew they just had to be delicious. Can't wait to try them.
