Fair Trade Baking: Brown Butter Pumpkin Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Happy weekend!

In case you have some fun Fall get-togethers on the horizon (bonfire, anyone?), I have a perfect recipe for you today from one of my favorite blogs, Picky Palate! Have you ever made anything with browned butter? It’s one of my favorite cookie-making secrets—the butter develops an almost-caramel flavor and makes everything taste just a little richer. Always a good thing! I’ve replaced some of the original ingredients below with fair trade certified ingredients. Just click the links to order the fair trade products! Isn’t it fun to be able to purchase fair trade for hobbies like baking? I think these would go great with someĀ Three Avocados coffee (100% of their net proceedsĀ provide clean drinking water and education in developing nations)!
