Charcutepalooza Challenge: The Brine

Brown Butter and Pumpkin Cookies
I’m still recovering from Thanksgiving, which was wonderful, but had me cooking non-stop for 6 hours. For the last few days, all I wanted was instant gratification, hence these leftovers being used for cookies. Because, when the mood strikes you, … Continue reading
