Brown Butter Shortbread

1 cup butter (I prefer salted)

2/3 cup sugar

1 T. vanilla sugar (If you dont have vanilla sugar you can use 1 T. fine sugar with 1 t. pure Madagascar vanilla extract)

2 1/3 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

In a small saucepan melt butter on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned. Stir in sugar and vanilla sugar and remove from heat. Refrigerate for about an hour.  

Combine flour and baking powder and beat in cooled butter mixture to form a dough, it's okay if it is crumbly.

Preheat oven to 325* Roll dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter.

Place dough balls about an inch apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press each ball of dough down using the tines of a fork, you may have to hold the edges of the cookie while you press down to keep it from crumbling. 

Bake at 325* for 18-20 minutes, or until edges just start to turn golden. Let cookies sit on baking sheet for 1 minute then transfer to cooling rack.
