BROWN BUTTER COOKIES

Using butter (NOT margarine) is essential for the success of this rich, but highly addictive cookie! You may need as little as 3 cups confectioners' sugar for the icing; just stop adding it when you've reached the desired consistency.

Time 1h20m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
⅔ cup chopped pecans
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
½ cup hot water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat butter over medium heat for 5 minutes or so, until it turns nut brown in color. The foaming and bubbling is part of the browning process, but watch it carefully so that you don't burn the butter. Remove from heat, and cool slightly. Reserve 1/2 cup of the butter for the frosting.
  • Pour remaining browned butter into a large mixing bowl. Beat browned butter with brown sugar until the butter is no longer hot. Mix in eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat thoroughly. Mix in flour and chopped pecans. Drop tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until light brown around the edges. Cool.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the reserved 1/2 cup browned butter with 2 teaspoons vanilla, confectioners' sugar, and hot water. Beat until smooth, and use to frost cooled cookies.

Time 1h25m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir butter until foamy and butter begins to turn brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, pour butter into a thick glass or metal bowl, and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Stir brown sugar into cooled butter and mix until well blended; add eggs and vanilla extract and mix well. Slowly stir flour mixture into butter mixture just until dough is mixed. Form dough into small balls and slightly flatten with your hand or fork. Arrange cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops of cookies are firm and edges are golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter for the best flavor. Unsalted butter is recommended so you can control the amount of salt in the cookies.
  • Brown the butter until it is a deep golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. Do not burn the butter or it will taste bitter.
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to firm up and prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

These brown butter refrigerator cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. With their rich, buttery flavor and chewy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
