Ingredients
- 1 cup butter browned
- 1 cups white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
Make Brown Butter
- Add butter to a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat.
- Whisk as the butter melts to keep it melting evenly.
- Butter will foam up and then subside. You will notice solid bits fall to the bottom of the pan.
- The butter will turn brown and smell nutty. Remove from heat and transfer to a heat safe bowl. Allow to cool slightly before using in cookies.
Make Brown Butter Snickerdoodles
- Cream together butter, 1 cup white sugar, ½ cup brown sugar. Scrape down sides of the bowl as needed until butter and sugar are well mixed.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, continue to beat until mixture is pale and thick.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and blend until just mixed.
- Chill dough for 45 minutes or overnight.
- Shape dough into balls about 1.5 Tablespoons in size. I use a cookie scoop.
- Mix the 4 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Roll balls of dough in mixture. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until edges are set and golden and centers are puffed.
