Soft and Chewy Brown Butter Gingersnaps

Made these last night (well, browned the butter on Saturday, made the dough on Sunday, baked the cookies Monday night — such is the life a full-time working mom of two little ones!). They were (are) fabulous! I thought I would be swooning over the brown butter, but I think it’s actually the orange zest that really sets these apart for me. And so soft… I love a soft cookie! Yum!

My Soft and Chewy Brown Butter Gingersnaps host all the classic appeal that you know and love - plus SO much more! The edges are irresistibly crunchy, while the thick centers stay soft and chewy. They're a Christmas cookie miracle!
