A huge thank you to Summer Crosby Hennessy for today’s guest post!! Check out her beautiful shop Acorn Moon Mercantile and her IG feed here. She is sharing her recipe for Brown Butter Fennel Cookies with us– take it away Summer!
These are dense, chewy, decadent, not even kidding around, brown buttery avalanche of yum in your mouth, with just a slight holiday spice vibe. Fennel is a favorite of mine, but truthfully, I consistently forget about it until it’s put in front of my face and then I just gobble it all up and think about it for a week. Fennel is traditionally used in banishing spells and rituals. It keeps away negativity and ill will. I read that sprinkling Fennel seeds in doorways and windowsills will protect the home as well! So throw some down while baking this season.
The spices on this cookie, came out really light, which is also nice, so if you want more of that flavor, you could easily double them. Also, this recipe is for 6 (serious) cookies. I feel like you can double the recipe, but browning twice as much butter is a bit of a task if you’re new to it, fyi. Oh, and I added some Fennel Flowers to my sugar mix, because I’m fancy like that.
Lots of love my kitchen magick makers!
