Brown Butter Cookie Dough Dip

You read that right.

I can’t leave butter alone. In fact, as I type this, though I feel like absolute crap, I would consider standing at the stove over a pan of Kerrygold, waiting on it to release that nutty, buttery aroma.

You know, just to.

But I won’t. I’ll keep typing, so that you, too, can have this really unusual dip.

It’s quick. It’s easy. It’s a stand around the party table, guarding it with a fork good. It may even be an “oops, Honey, I forgot to sit out our Cookie Dough Dip” uttered 5 minutes after the guests are out the door.

Not that you’d do that.

What you choose to pair the dip with is up to you, but I found that strawberries were my favorite. Graham crackers, apples, slobbery spoons – all acceptable options. You choose.

I won’t judge.
