Brown Buttercrunch Cookies
I am BEYOND excited to have The Girl Who Ate Everything here today to share a delicious cookie recipe with all of us! When I first started my blog, hers was, and still is, one that completely inspires me. This girl knows how to bake and cook and her pictures are mouthwatering! The cookies she is sharing with all of us today look absolutely DELISH! I will let Christy take it away now…
Thank Nikki for letting me hang out at your place today!
I consider myself the Cookie Queen but my grandma was also known as the queen of sweets. She passed down these Brown Buttercrunch Cookies to me.
When I think of cookies to make for my neighbors and friends, I try to think of cookies that are easy to make, unique, and obviously tasty. These Brown Buttercrunch Cookies are unlike any cookie I’ve ever made. They’re buttery golden snowflakes that taste like toffee but in cookie form.
Start off by placing 1/2 teaspoon drops of the batter onto your cookie sheet. I know that sounds small but these babies spread. They turn into beautiful golden brown discs. I know mine aren’t uniform here but just like snowflakes, each one has it’s own shape and character.
You’re supposed to just drizzle some chocolate on them but today I felt like lathering an entire end with chocolate. Don’t you have days like that?
These cookies are filled with buttery goodness and would be a showstopping addition to your cookie plates.
