Valentine's Brown Butter Spice Cookies

A few days ago I posted my desire to invent my first cookie. A Valentine's cookie. A "sexy" cookie, if you will (not some milksop sugar concoction with tastelessly sweet frosting). And voila, a few tries and a few cardboard-tasting failures later and I have found my cookie. A bit nutty, a bit chocolatey and a bit spicy. Mouth-meltingly soft. What more can you ask for? I'll still be playing around with this a bit; I had one try that came out perfectly and the others have been a bit varied, but I'll keep this recipe updated.

Food Photography Studio!

I put together a little food photography studio tonight out of...wait for it...posterboard, parchment paper, and a daylight lightbulb! I am super excited. My sister sort of gave me the "you're cute but insane" smile. Let's hope some mouth-watering things come out of this bad boy!
