My sister is to thank for these incredible Oatmeal Coconut Cookies with Brown Butter. If you are new to my site, brown butter is – basically, magic! It elevates just about everything giving it a deeper, richer, more intense flavor that smells wonderful, too!
A couple weeks ago she was whipping up some Oatmeal Coconut Cookies when I stopped her in her tracks and made a few adjustments. They turned out so delicious that I saved them for Fall Cookie Week.
