Since it has been so darn cold lately all I want to do is stay inside. Obvs. I think that's most peoples response to the cold. Well, what better thing is there to do than bake--making the apartment nice and cozy warm, making the neighbors jealous because of the delicious smells. Right?
I wanted to bake a little somethin for work's holiday party so I dug in my freezer and found a bag of Rolos--It was one of those impulse buys, Halloween candy went on sale and I totally forgot I had them. Jackpot.
I thought they would be best paired with a little browned butter, so I remade my old chocolate chip cookie recipe. Success and etc.

This weekend I'll probably be laying low. Maybe baking?
What are your wonderful plans??

Why did I never think to put Rolos in cookies? Amazing. I've come across a number of recipes lately using brown butter, but I have yet to try it. I hear it's super yummy... just like these look! ;D
