Brown Butter Sugar Cookies - Delicious Recipe From Scratch
  1. Brown the Butter:

  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.

  3. Remove from heat, pour into a heatproof bowl, and let it cool to room temperature.

  4. Prepare the Dough:

  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.

  6. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.

  7. Combine Dry Ingredients:

  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

  9. Chill the Dough:

  10. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to make it easier to handle.

  11. Preheat Oven:

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

  13. Form the Cookies:

  14. Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar and place them on the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  15. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.

  16. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
