I love, love, love chocolate chip cookies and with Valentine's Day upon us it seemed like a perfect time to make them. I'm not anti-Valentine's Day by any means, but years of working in a florist has killed the over the top excitement I used to feel about Valentine's Day. So rather than head out to a restaurant and be given a dozen roses my husband Joseph and I prefer to spend the holiday quietly at home with a nice home cooked meal and a yummy dessert. Unfortunately these wont be served for Valentine's as they barely made it two days before they were all gone! I made these the other day when we had some company over and they got a big thumbs up all around from everyone who tried one. I love the browned butter aspect of the cookies, which gives the outside a big crunch but still makes for a nice soft center, which to me makes for the perfect chocolate chip cookie.
