Brown Butter Chocolate Malted Cookies // The Sugar Hit

 

I’m on a brown butter bender. I can’t stahp with the brown butter blondies and the brown butter buns, and now these Brown Butter Chocolate Malted Cookies. It would be a problem if it weren’t so awesome.

 

The brown butter makes these cookies. It works with the malt balls to create this super malty, super buttery flavour, all wrapped up with cocoa and milk chocolate. UGH, these are so good.

Rain was spattering against the windows when I woke up this morning, and the cool air coupled with the sound of the rain made baking cookies seem like the ideal activity for today. And it was.

 

But it did make it hard to feel like doing any other work. It’s a pitfall of working from home – baking cookies is eminently possible. At least if you’re at the office, you can’t just dive into some baking. When you have that option and Pinterest is screaming at you to SEIZE THE DAY!!! it’s hard to know what the right decision is.

But then I remember that cookies are always the right decision. Duh. In fact, it was lucky that the rain inspired my baking this morning, because if I’m honest I’ve been struggling with inspiration lately. If you have a minute, I’d love to hear what’s been inspiring you ! Help a sister out. Send me any weird, crazy, anything stuff that you’ve been feeling good about. ANYTHING AT ALL!

 

And then help yourself out and make some cookies because SERIOUSLY. They’re. So. Good.
