[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Browning the butter takes upwards of 10 minutes. If you don't brown it long enough, not enough of the water in the butter evaporates, thus runny batter and not-so-great cookies. Also, [b]unsalted[/b] butter browns best.[/quote]

I don't know about the browning qualities, but your post reminded me that we made these cookies and I just want to add:  We always use salted butter for baking because we like salt and in the Tollhouse recipe it turns out great.  But we made the BA cookies over the holidays with salted butter and they turned out just shy of too salty.  The batter (yes, we taste the batter) was too salty and I was nervous, but once baked they were not too salty but they went right up to the edge and should not be any saltier.  So this is just a note for anyone else -- if you use salted butter, you may want to reduce the added kosher salt to be on the safe side or if you like things less salty than me.

Also, though, the BA cookies were delicious. We made the tollhouse the same day (because my kids were suspicious, and it was a cold no-school day, and we needed a lot of cookies anyway) and did a side-by-side taste test -- all of the adults and most of the kids voted for the BA cookies.[/quote]
