Brown butter is all the rage right now. I have used it a couple times in cookies (Brown Butter M&M Cookies & Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Toffee Cookies). Today though, I am giving it to you in a savory dish. A super quick, (like under 20 minutes quick) and easy dinner.

Remember when I made Brown Butter Pumpkin Pancakes, and jumped on board the Brown Butter bus? Well, now I am driving the bus. Brown Butter is amazing!! I think it just might be the best thing since sliced bread. And, I am pretty sure that my dad agrees, even if he doesn’t know it.
When we were home last week my dad asked if I could make cookies for him. They bid on these cookies when I did the Colorado Wildfires Bake Sale, but were outbid in the last minute. Apparently he has been thinking about them since. I shouldn’t be surprised, I know how much he likes toffee and chocolate chip cookies. Since I am such a good daughter, I went to the store to get the ingredients to make him these cookies.
These cookies were nothing short of amazing. The brown butter gives them such a great depth of flavor. So much more flavor than you get in a normal cookie. Then you have chocolate chips, AND toffee chips! They were soft and chewy, even a couple days later. I am not sure my dad knew anything about the brown butter or what made these cookies different, he just knew he couldn’t stop eating them. I got a call from my dad when we were on our way back to Colorado, asking if I had posted the cookies yet. He was raving to people about how these were the best cookies, and they needed to know where to find the recipe. So here it is.

I am finally on the brown butter train. It has been a long time, and I am starting slow, but I get it. I finally get it. So next up I will be trying about 10 different cookies recipes, sauces, blondies, and anything else I can think of.
Pumpkin Pancakes were on my must make list this fall. Last year I tried them when we were out for breakfast somewhere. I remember they had a candied, caramel walnut mixture on top. They were amazing. But I couldn’t remember them enough to try to replicate them. So I decided to go a different route, and finally experiment with brown butter.
These pancakes were amazing. Just check out how fluffy they are, super light too. My 7 year old ate the leftovers for days, and kept requesting them. The brown butter with the pumpkin is just magical, and perfect for a fall breakfast. Top with maple syrup, or even cinnamon maple syrup (steep a cinnamon stick in maple syrup while you mix up the pancakes). Now if I could just replicate that walnut mixture these might be the best pancakes ever!
