Operation Pinterest: Browned Butter Cookies

baked cookies

For the second installment of Operation Pinterest I made Browned Butter & Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies from Ambitious Kitchen. I had only experienced browned butter once before, in a recipe similar to this that involved Nutella as well. (If you follow my Instagram you may remember, those were a little bit of a disaster..) Those cookies were very good, but a bit of a hassle to make, so when I saw this recipe I thought I'd give it a shot.

Operation Pinterest: 1st Edition

Today I am starting a new series of blog posts called Operation Pinterest. For this series, I will test recipes from Pinterest and relay to you what I think about them. I was inspired by the variety of experiences I've had when testing Pinterest recipes. It doesn't seem to matter how many people pin it, it can still suck, in my opinion. I don't mean this to be a critique of the recipe, or the author, because I don't think that's fair. For one, people's tastes are different: different strokes for different folks. But also, I can't stand it when people change a recipe and then complain about how bad it was. In this case, I did change some ingredients so it's not fair for me to judge the original recipe. I only want to give you my thoughts and advice on the recipe so you can get a better idea about the random recipe you found on Pinterest.
Today I have for you Tomato Basil Chicken from Menu Musings. This recipe is currently very popular on Pinterest. That was what first qualified it as a candidate. Also, it's naturally gluten-free (serving with pasta is optional) with accessible ingredients. Sounds good to me!
