Inspired by Etto and their dedication to making artisan pasta in a traditional European style, we created this exclusive flavor to pair with the artisan products offered in Etto's Italian Marketplace in Paso Robles, California.

MADE FOR THE FOODIE: This cookie was made to pair with any of the delicious pasta offerings from Etto Pastifico. Read Etto's statement below, and enjoy their delicious butternut brown butter sage ravioli recipe also listed below.
SAGE
A classic pairing of Sage and Brown Butter! We steep fresh sage into the butter after it has been browned and add dried sage to our dough to deliver a beautifully layered flavor. The earthiness of the sage is complemented by the nutty brown butter and sweet brown sugar in our brown butter sea salt cookies!
etto x BBCC in Brian's words
I must say that the best part about opening Etto, besides having my own store conveniently located where I work, has been getting to work with so many local movers and shakers in the local food scene. Brown Butter Cookies have always been a family favorite in our house, back from the days of their little original location in Cayucos. We have shipped their cookies to friends and family all over the place even if it was just an excuse to buy some for ourselves. Now that one of our daughters has moved across the county to Boston, we always ship her a box of their cookies to give her a taste of home. We just hope she shares them with friends (probably not). We try to have their cookies at every family gathering.
Until recently Brown Butter Cookies were only sold through their own stores and website. Somehow the stars aligned and the crew at Brown Butter asked if we'd like to be one of the first retailers to be able to sell their cookies, of course we said yes! My personal goal is to stock Etto with all the products I love, spread the love, knowing the rest will work itself out. We have carried their cookies now for the last few months and it's one less reason for me to leave Tin City and one less stop for you.
The brown butter and sage combination is classic Italian and also one of our favorite simple sauces for our pasts, specifically the butternut squash ravioli. In the past we'd recommend a crumble of amaretto cookie over our butternut sage butter ravioli, but now we have a custom cookie that's even more perfect (recipe below).
We are so excited to launch this cookie as fall and winter arrives with ravioli season in full swing as local butternut squash just arrived. We hope you find these cookies to be the perfect hostess and holiday gift too. Look for them also at Etto Pasta Bar as a cookie plate or to take home.
