Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until a lovely nutty aroma develops. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Chill the Dough: Chill the dough for about 30 minutes to meld flavors and improve texture.

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Shape the Cookies: Take tablespoon-sized amounts of dough, roll into balls, and flatten into oval ghost shapes.

Bake: Place cookies on prepared sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Cool on sheets briefly before transferring to wire racks.
