Another Cast Party...Another Yummy Treat!

For our final cast party, I decided to make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Brown Butter Icing Drizzle. Woah! Say that five times fast! While you're at it, try saying "Toy Boat" five times fast. Tricky! And hilarious for those who listened to you try.

Onward to the cookies! A special person in my life over at Eating, etc. used to make these cookies for me awhile back. From the first day I tasted them, I decided to forgo all other oatmeal cookie recipes for I had found the one to love forever and ever 'til death do us part. I think she found this recipe on All Recipes and tweaked it to her liking. Darn tootin! These cookies are awesome. The drizzle added that special flair because who wants to bring plain cookies to a cast party?

Brown Butter Icing
Paula Deen

1/2 cup butter
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 to 4 tablespoons of water

Heat the butter in a large saucepan until golden brown. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Stir in enough water (mine took about 4 tablespoons) to make icing of drizzle consistency. Drizzle on warm cookies.
