pancakes and browned butter peanut butter cookies

Yum! Sooo much peanut butter

Mmmmm delicious :D

Yay for chocolate chips! The 5 year old didn't want them... the 16 year old did. Weird little 5 year old child...

Browned butter specks right thurrrrr :P

So today I decided to try browning butter when I made peanut butter cookies. I think I may have over-browned it, but they still tasted good :D They were very thick and almost fudgy. I think part of that was the peanut butter chips, too. You don' t need to add those, but they definitely make it better. If I had peanuts I would have added them, too, but we never have peanuts. Chocolate chips would also taste good, I'm sure, but I really just wanted mass amounts of peanut butter haha.
Also, I tried Nutella for the first time. Oh my lord. Definitely going to find something to bake this in soon :P
