This local cookie company starting with this location and now has at least 3 Central Coast locations so far. One in SLO & one is Paso. As far as cookies go, they are tasty. They do have all sorts of options as per their website...and of course they appear to use browned butter as an ingredient. Here is repost on about them from their website: "...
OUR STORY
Traci and Christa Hozie were stunned when a small cookie began to dominate their deli business. Amongst a menu of paninis and salads, their “shortbread” cookie, which was offered as a sample to customers, continued to be bought out on a daily basis.
With the help of family and friends, the sisters could hardly keep up as the cookies flew off the shelves. After many late nights preparing cookies for the next day, they decided to “listen to the cookie” and founded the Brown Butter Cookie Company in December 2008.
What began as an inconspicuous sampler cookie would soon become a Central Coast staple requiring the launch of an online shop to sell the sensationally sweet and salty Original Brown Butter Sea Salt cookie nationwide. Since then, the Cookie Company has been featured in the New York Times, Sunset Magazine, The Today Show, Westways, and more!
The passion for these cookies has only continued to grow. In the fall of 2013, the sisters opened their second boutique retail shop on the park in the iconic Acron building, downtown Paso Robles, California. Six years later, in the fall of 2019, they celebrated their 10th year in business with the opening of their third retail location. You’ll find the newest shop in charming San Luis Obispo, California, right in the heart of downtown. The Cookie Company continues to make all cookies here on the Central Coast in their new production facility in Atascadero, and in their flagship Cayucos shop."....
For a special snack for kids on a trip, or as a gift for those who cannot make it to the Central Coast, these cookies should be welcome.
You will also be supporting a local business and quite a few local workers [well over two dozen], whom they list on their webpage, along with their favorite cookie. Since at least half seem to be of typical College age, it would be nice to also know their career or hobby interests as well.
As with many popular eats on the coast, these are a indulgence, as with local Clam Chowder, Cinnamon Buns, Taffy, Ice cream, and in this case cookies. The nutritional information for the "original cookie" shows sat. fat [ 23% DV], sugar [17%] for 1 oz. of cookie. There are traces of Vit. D, iron, Calcium, and Potassium, which come from the 6+ ingredients which are very basic [the top 3 are flour, butter, sugar], and do not include many unwanted chemicals nor preservatives.
These are definitely superior to what one finds in supermarkets and rival those of some of the best local bakeries, which are fantastic as well.
Of course, it would be best to serve kids, and some adults, a few of these with a tall glass of nutritious milk [with or without Lactase as needed...and lower fat as well...the supermarkets that do carry real milk, from local Happy CA cows, are just off the highway in Morro Bay or Cambria]. Many milk substitutes have poor nutrition, lack protein/calcium, and are loaded with sugar.
