Sometimes when you make butter sometimes a dark liquid will gather at the bottom. That is usually some funky water. Most folks just dump it off. If you have a lot of water or if you added water when you made your butter then you probably want to get rid of that. Otherwise if it is just a small amount mix it in with the first batch of cookies.

I usually measure off 1 cup amounts and freeze them in ziplocks. Then when I get to the last I add regular butter to make it an even amount for the recipe and cook that.

The cookies are always totally chronic. I can hardly tell between the first batch and ones made later on.

Good luck.:smokin:
