Ingredients

  1. 1 stick+ 2 Tbs unsalted butter
  2. 1/2 cupbrown sugar
  3. 1/3 cupwhite sugar
  4. 1egg (room temperature)
  5. 1 tspvanilla extract
  6. 1 1/2 cupAP flour
  7. 1/2 tspbaking soda
  8. 1/4 tspbaking powder
  9. 1/4 tspsalt
  10. 2-3 Tbssugar (for rolling dough in)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Place a stick of butter in a heavy bottom pot to brown, you will have it melt on medium low heat, occasionally stirring with a spatula. It will start to smell nutty and turn brown. Once the color is an amber color, remove from heat. Transfer to a heat proof bowl. Stir in your extra two tablespoons right away until melted, and then set aside to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Add your light brown and granulated sugar to your browned butter. Stir together using a spatula or large spoon to help further cool your butter and to fully combine your sugar into the butter. Once mixture is not too hot, stir in your egg. In a separate bowl, combine your dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

  3. 3

    Add in your dry ingredients, half at a time to your wet ingredients, and fold together until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Optional: mix together a bit with your hands. Cover your dough in plastic wrap, and place into the fridge to chill for six hours or overnight until firm.

  5. 5

    Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350. While the oven is preheating, take out dough to come to room temperature. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form a ball. Roll into sugar and place on sheet. Bake 12 minutes.

  6. 6

    Once 12 minutes is up, let stand on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack until cool.
