Hi Jeannie,

Thanks for bringing that to my attention! I recently moved all my recipe to a new platform and not everything translated over. I’ve corrected it and the average calorie per cookie is 61 kgram.

I’m confused by the nutritional value. Are you saying each gram of cookie dough has 736 calories?

Hi Tammie,

My initial thought is that you should brown it less. Different butters have different water levels and it’s possible yours has less moisture, to begin with. The more you brown it, the more of the water/moisture that evaporates. Since it seems dry, I’d try that. Alternatively, add another tablespoon or two of butter when you brown it.

Keep me posted!

Good afternoon,
I made these to include in Christmas gifts. I’m new to browning the butter but was successful. I think I’m missing something because I cannot get the dough to stay together to get it in the fridge. What am I missing? My son and some of his coworkers have requested more so I’m in the process of making them again today. I just can’t get that roundness I’m lucky if it doesn’t all crumble while trying to get it in the fridge. Teach me please…lol I need help. I just read about the 20% more butter when you are browning it. Did I need to do that in this recipe? Is the stick to liquid different for the 8 oz? I weight the butter in stick form to get the 8 oz which was 2 sticks. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Simply delicious! I love the simpleness of these cookies with the deep nutty flavor of the browned butter!

Hey Kathy…hmmm…While they are not a soft cookie, I have not had them come out ‘very hard’…they should be more of a crisp shortbread. Please do let me know if the 10 minutes results in a crisp, but not hard, cookie for you. I guess everyone’s oven temps can vary, but I’d like to add this information in the recipe.

Thanks in advance. Lynn

I made a batch of these cookies yesterday. They are delicious, but they came out very hard. I’m wondering if they are supposed to be hard to bite into or if perhaps the 15 minute baking time is too long. I’m making another batch today and will try a 10 min. baking time to see if that makes a difference. I also substituted chopped dried cranberries for the nuts. The cranberries and the rosemary give the cookies a Christmas look.
