Description

These Brown Butter Sugar Cookies are a delightful twist on classic sugar cookies, featuring rich, nutty brown butter for an irresistible depth of flavor. With a soft, chewy texture and a perfect balance of sweetness, they make a perfect treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted brown butter (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the brown butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and well combined, creating a creamy base for your cookies.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, incorporating air for a tender cookie texture.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  5. Shape Dough Balls: Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll each into a ball for even baking and uniform size.
  6. Chill Dough: Chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight, which helps to enhance flavor and prevent spreading during baking.
  7. Bake Cookies: Place the chilled dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart, and bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and chewy.
  8. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they set perfectly.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading and develop deeper flavors.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to avoid sticking and promote even baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • You can add chocolate chips or nuts for additional texture and flavor if desired.
