Instructions

Heat butter in small skillet on medium heat. Allow to froth up, then brown. Here is a great article on how to brown butter (for today's cookies you want the butter to JUST begin the browning process) Remove from heat.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
In large mixing bowl, add browned butter plus 1 3/4 cups brown sugar. Mix on medium speed, add salt, eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda and baking powder.
In small bowl, mix 1/4 cup reserved brown sugar and 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar together. Using a 1 Tablespoon small scoop, scoop up dough (will be consistency of play-doh) and roll into a ball. Then roll in sugar mixture.
Place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and cool on wire rack.

Notes

Store cooled cookies in airtight container for up to one week.
