  2. Robyn. Just wondering, do I need to let the brown butter cool before adding to mix so that the eggs don’t curdle. Thanks

    1. Hi Jane,
      Yes, you’ll want to make sure that the brown butter is cooled. I hope you enjoy them! xo

  3. Is this the same recipe as Ree’s on the Pioneer Women’s website? I’m really enjoying your website:)

  5. Robyn, these look lovely! I love that you put oats in them, and man, that brown butter? It’s one of my favorite baking weapons. Can’t wait to give these a try!

  8. A few Texas Pecans?…the Texas in me. I love ’em in most anything. And, I’ve found toasting them before stirring them in your batters makes for a more yummy taste. I really like so many of your recipes!…thank you! These cookies just look soooooo Good‼️?‼️ I’m going to make your Apple Cake this Sat. For our family reunion ….. I know it will be a hit! (&, I think I’ll add a cup of Toasted Texas Pecans ?).
