While Gord and I {and kidlets} were away in California at a family reunion, I saw a sign on the side of the road for Brown Butter Cookies. Normal people would see a sign like this and say “oh that’s nice”. But I saw the sign and said “we MUST go there and eat all the cookies we can shove into our pie holes!” True story.

So, off we went! It was only about 20 minutes out of our way, which I think was 20 minutes well spent! Cayucos is a cute little town on the beach with fun candy, surf and antique shops.But, we made the trek for cookies, so that’s where we headed first. I love the look of their building! I’m a sucker for white trim.Cookies? Don’t mind if I do!When you walk into the Brown Butter Cookie Company store, you see shelves of cookies, granola and people behind the counters hand rolling all the cookies! I sort of wanted to just ask for cookie dough….but then thought they’d think I was strange {which I am} so I decided against it.Yummy granola!
And, the star of the show: Brown Butter Sea Salt Cookies!! There were so many cookies everywhere!And not just plain brown butter kinds. ALL SORTS! These were coconut lime brown butter cookies! How good does that sound?I was tempted to buy this huge bag of cookies, but my husband wanted to get more of a variety…So we ended up getting this one with lots of different kinds so we could sample them all.“Uh, Mom, can you PUH-LEASE hurry up?“Here are all the cookies from that pack we got.Oatmeal Rasin! I like the oatmeal part…not so much the raisin part. Soft sugar cookies! Mmmm!And omg!! Soft Snickerdoodle cookies! Amazing!This chocolate chip cookie was super soft all the way through, so I loved that! This was a cocoa brown butter sea salt cookie which was our absolute favorite of the day.And then there were these!! The cookie that got these people famous, who their store is named after.These cookies are basically like a softer shortbread. Buttery, crumbly, tender and delish! I liked these little dudes a lot too.And, then I went back to eating the sugar cookie. Because it was one of my favorites too.

I asked her to pick her favorite cookie and she was stuck like this for a solid 30 seconds. LOL! Here’s my family post cookie binge. Don’t mind Brooke looking all sketchy! Haha…what a funny girl.
