Here is the second installment of my new project.  My project is about me trying out other food bloggers recipes without changing a thing!  I want to follow these recipes ingredient by ingredient and instruction by instruction.  If you cook/bake much you probably realize how hard this can be.  You might be missing something in the recipe or think you could add something to a recipe to make it better.  Inevitably I end up changing most of the recipes I try.  In fact, probably 99% of my original recipes are adaptations or I at least got the spark for the idea from another persons recipe.

I’m constantly thinking of things to add to recipes to make them better, different, or more interesting.  But for this I want to stay true to these bloggers ideas.  If you’re like me you have hundreds or even thousands of recipes pinned, bookmarked, and listed in various places on your computer and devices.  The hardest part of this so far is to narrow it down to just one recipe.

So late last week I was going through some pretty old pins on my cookie board.  I came across this cookie and knew immediately it would be my next victim!  I’ve been tossing these cookies around in my head for over a year now.  Sometimes when I would see a repin for them I would get a little sad because I knew I might never get to taste them.  Cause, really, if you think about it realistically we’ll never have enough time in our lives to make all of the recipes we’ve pinned.

I know you’ve seen these cookies before.  You’ve probably pinned a photo/recipe for them as well.  Chances are pretty good since they’ve been pinned over a quarter of a million times!

They completely live up to their hype!  However you imagined that gooey nutty center of these cookies to taste, that’s how they taste!  The absolute perfect sugary cookie crunch on the outside of the cookie, and a soft slightly gooey center.  I can probably go delete every other snickerdoodle pin in my cookie collection!

I’ve never experienced a more beautiful cookie dough!  It is silky with a rich nutty aroma and playful little brown specks of brown butter flavor.  These cookies have everything going for them. They’re dough is gorgeous. They are beautiful after they come out of the oven, and they taste like the best snickerdoodle you’ve ever had!

I think I’m going to learn a lot from this project!

This cookie is one you don’t want to miss out on in your lifetime!

You can find Monique’s recipe for these Brown Butter Snickerdoodle Cookies over at her blog: Ambitious Kitchen.  I think it’s cool she wrote “jazzed up” after the title of her recipe.  Because that was the original intent of Julie’s Jazz, to find old recipes and Jazz them up with fresh ideas (even though it has nothing to do with this post).
