Spiced Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

With a flavor jolt from browned butter and a touch of cinnamon, ginger, and cloves, these Spiced Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are so good you'll have a new favorite chocolate chip cookie.

I may just have a new favorite chocolate chip cookie.  Yes, I'm absolutely in love with these Spiced Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies.  And I'm not the only one who loves them.  I made these for an afternoon get-together with a few of my girlfriends ... and every single one of them is in love with these scrumptious cookies, too!

And I think there's three things that have contributed to why these cookies have captured our hearts ...

1. The richness of browned butter.

Oh my gracious, browned butter adds such a flavorful richness to these cookies!  The flavor is a-mazing.

And I have a confession.  I was always one of those people who, when reading a recipe that called for browned butter, thought 'Oh, I don't really need to go through the extra step of browning the butter.  It won't make much difference.'

Uh, WRONG.  Sooooo wrong.

I've since learned that when a recipe calls for browned butter, there's a reason ... because it rewards you with absolutely amazing rich flavor!  Take the time to brown the butter when a recipe calls for it.  You'll be glad you did.

2. The jolt of flavor from the spice combination.

These scrumptious cookies get a wonderful jolt of flavor from a touch of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves.  It's like combining a mild-flavored gingersnap and a chocolate chip cookie ... two of my favorite things together!

It's no wonder I love them so.

3.  They're whole grain.

Surprised?

Yes, so were my friends.

Made with white whole-wheat flour, these little yummies are whole grain.  Bonus!

So, if you love chocolate chip cookies ... and love the flavor of gingerbread or gingersnaps ... and love tender cookies ... and love whole-grain baking ... then I highly recommend you whip up a batch of these scrumptious Spiced Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies.

And take the time to brown the butter.  Believe me, the flavor reward is worth it!
