Browned Butter and Sea Salt Cookies

Yeah, remember how I was going to post about those cookies forever ago, well, I'm finally posting. :)  This weekend was pretty busy and hectic.  I have two other recipes I'll post soon for cupcakes I made this weekend.  I made two different kinds of cupcakes for a baby shower for a girl in our Sunday school class.  We made the SS hour a baby shower, so it was a nice change.  Plus, most of the people in our Sunday school class are fairly new, so we don't know them well.  It gave us all a great chance to fellowship and get to know each other better. I think we're going to try and do a fellowship time during a SS class more often.  I suggested we have one when there's a 5th Sunday in a month.  That way we won't have to schedule it for every however many weeks, or not remember if it was this week or next.  We can simply look at the calendar and know.  I think it'll be really good for our class members.

We had company come on Thursday, so I made some cookies that morning, so we'd have a special baked good that afternoon and evening.  Here's a link to the recipe for Brown Butter and Fleur de Sel Chocolate Chip Cookies.  Yes, they are that awesome.  I don't have fleur de sel, so I just used sea salt, like she suggests.  It was my first experience browning butter, and her pictures helped immensely, so I knew if I was doing it right.  My cookies fell super flat because my baking soda was dead.  I knew it was, but I had no choice.  It was either use the soda and know they would fall, or not make them.  I knew they'd taste good either way, so I made them. :) Taste trumps appearance, as a friend put on my facebook the other day.  I had Dusty take a few to work today, and his coworkers ate all he took, and they ate some cupcakes I sent, too.  I love making food for people. :)  I'll post the recipe links for the cupcakes later this week.

Tell me if you make anything that I post about.  Also, the people whose blogs I post from have GREAT recipes, so I suggest looking at more of their stuff than what I post.  Good stuff.
