Great soft festive cookie. These didn't turn out chewy for me but were tall and soft. I wonder if the baking soda were omitted or if they were flattened on the baking sheet, if they would be flatter and chewier. For people who have never browned butter, the directions could have been more detailed: I start it out on low heat and turn it up to medium after about 5 minutes...around 10 minutes it will foam up and will start browning soon after that...be ready to remove it from the heat as soon as it starts browning so it doesn't burn. I used regular butter so used half the salt. I used white flour, ground nutmeg, 1/2 cup dried cranberries and white chocolate chips because I couldn't find vanilla ones. I added the orange zest when I added the sugars. I used the optional crystallized ginger but think they would have been better without it. I fit 12 cookies each on two large cookie sheets and reversed them on the racks half way through cooking. They baked for 13 minutes. They browned a little too much on the bottom. Overall, these were attractive tasty cookies that lasted a long time so would be great for a baked gift. Good luck in the contest!
