Browned butter cookies. I make these all the time the same exact way! These are from the same batch. Cookies on the cooling rack were the first set I put in the oven. Cookies on the baking sheet are from the second. I don’t know what I did wrong 😅 temperature was the same and I baked the same amount of time. Every time I make these, I chill the dough for 24 hours then roll the dough into balls and set in refrigerator for about 15 minutes before putting it in the oven. Any clue?

They look delicious to me! I would eat them all
It looks like maybe you banged the pan as you took them out so they collapsed slightly. I always do this to my cookies because I like when they fall 😅 that’s my guess since they were made from the same dough!
The only thing I can come up with is maybe your dough was at a lower temperature when you put your first set in the oven and maybe the dough and/or oven was slightly warmer for the second set.
tbh they look perfect to me
How long after the oven came to temp did you put the first batch in? I started waiting 10 minutes after it says its temp to let it finish cause it always got hotter and effected my second batch differently. Or if they warmed up on the counter differently just a guess
did you use the same sheet pan for both batches?
Did you bake one on parchment paper and the other on a silpat? That gave me very different results the last time I made CCCs.
I read it was too much butter once
I cant answer your question as Im a baking novice lol, but Is chilling for 24 hours recommended? Ive been following the butternut bakery brown butter cookies recipe & she says no chill, but it falls apart not chilled, so I chill for 3 hours. Wondering if should chill longer like 24 hours?
They did t get eaten fast enough! Those look great.
What’s wrong with them? They look pretty normal to me. What do you want them to look like?
What happened is they’re not where they should be. And that is in my hands
Someone ate one. It wasn’t me.
Are you using the same cookie sheet?
Are you letting the cookie sheet cool completely between batches?
It looks like a tad too much butter to me.
You melted the butter. And I think they look great.
Did you put the second batch on the hot baking sheet that you used for the first batch?
Or, did you leave the dough out while baking the first batch?
As they come from the same batch it’s gotta be either a temperature switch of some kind or the second ones rested a little more perhaps they rose higher then dropped when cooling. Were they in for the same amount of time?
Maybe opening and closing the oven taking the cookies in and out and then it didn’t come back up to temp. Not sure. But that can make a big difference and often cookies will spread a lot because the oven isn’t hot enough. If you feel the cookies spread too much, you can try upping the oven temp by 25°F and it should help (monitor to shorten baking time by a minute or two and don’t open and close the oven while they are baking).
They look fine.
Ok what are you comparing these cookies to? Because no one thinks you did wrong here
These look good to me though!
But I reckon it’s the temperature of your dough or your oven. Was the second batch still in the fridge while the first batch was baking?
Yum!! Those are perfect!!!
Too much love was put into it 😗
if you mix the dough with too-hot butter and it dissolves the sugar I have found it can look like this too! You don’t want the sugar to get dissolved
Either the second round was put on an already heated up pan, or the butter wasn’t fully mixed/bottom of the bowl deal. But either way, these look scrumptious regardless.
Did you use the same sheet? Was it hot and your cookies were waiting on the counter to go in?
I think it would be unusual to affect an entire sheet, but if you were scraping down the sides of the bowl between sheets then the butter & sugar content might be higher for the second set, making them spread more
The dough for the ones on the cookie sheet was warmer than the ones on the cooling rack. I don’t refrigerate mine, and they look like the ones on the cookie sheet 🙂
Yeah I dont see a single thing wrong with them?
They look good to me. How’s the taste?
It looks clean and yummy
Looks like one was eaten
Was the butter very warmed/melty?
Those are proper looking cookies as far as I am concerned 👌🏾
If you were looking for them to keep more shaped -putting them into the fridge for 20mins before putting them into a preheated oven would do the trick.
Look great to me, most importantly were they tasty, if so mission accomplished, practice makes perfect, with time you will achieve a perfect presentation.
What happened is while the dough was being chilled, an angel sneezed on only half of it. Next time make sure to rotate the dough so that it can be properly blessed.
Was the pan still hot when you put the second set of cookie dough on them?
Looks like someone ate one of them.
Seriously, they look perfect to me!
You ate one
This can happen for several reasons: when the dough is too warm when put into the oven, when the dough is not in roundish balls when put into the oven, if the dough is over-beaten particularly during the first step (butter, sugar step or when eggs are added), and/or there’s too little baking powder or soda. Any combination of these things too. If the cookies have a somewhat glassy finish on their tops, they are over beaten when eggs are added. Pop the dough in the refrigerator between batches and keep it away from the oven when filling a new sheet. I am sure that they are delicious even if they aren’t ready for a magazine photo shoot. No one eating them will care what they look like! I just made 10 dozen this week and had one sheet turn out like these. I was getting impatient and ahead of myself by sheeting them as soon as the pan cooled right after I put another sheet in. Put the dough in the fridge the next time and they came out like a photo for a mag. But all of them got eaten and no one complained about some of them being flatter looking. I bet yours are yummy!😋
They look horrible, pls send to me and I will get rid of them immediately
Looks like you need assistance in eating them. pick me!!!
give me 14 of them!
Are you saying the temperature of both batches was the same because you kept the dough refrigerated the entire time before they went into the oven?
Or that the dough was on the counter and refrigerated for the same time?
One of them got eaten
Do they taste fine
If so just eat and enjoy
Your biccies look OK me.
Who cares about how they look. It’s how they taste that matters
Nothing. Now eat them!
