For a richer flavor, use brown butter. Simply cook the butter in the saucepan until it turns a nutty brown color before adding the sugar. Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even peanut butter chips. For a festive touch, sprinkle the cookies with sea salt flakes after adding the nuts. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
