6. MELTED BUTTER

Our final test was using melted butter, and this is something we’ll definitely be coming back to. We used the same amount of butter that the original recipe calls for (1 cup) but melted it and then stirred the sugars in and left it to sit and cool a bit before mixing in all the other ingredients. The cookies don’t seem to spread as much in the oven, and the result is a puffier cookie than the control, but still with crisp edges. All of the butter flavor is still there. It’s an excellent cookie!
