Browned Butter Molasses Chocolate Chip Cookies

Life's been really busy, lately, and it's only going to get busier.. so today, I'm relaxing, in a sense.  I cleaned.  I did laundry.  I ate leftover pizza.  There will be movie watching.  Lots of kitty cuddles.  And I made these cookies.  None of these included studying, which was much, much needed after four exams this week.

Now, these cookies.  We were out of eggs, so I was a little bit worried as to how they'd turn out without any..but it was fine.  I'm including the egg in the recipe, because they really should have one, but it's fine without.  Browned butter and molasses really amp up the flavor in these cookies.  Instead of your regular chocolate chip cookie, the browned butter adds a bit of depth, and the molasses gives it a bit of a caramel taste.  A glass of milk is definitely preferred with these, and some good company to share them with is always a good idea.  So make these cookies, and take some time to relax.  Enjoy yourself; you deserve it.
