Salted Brown Butter Cookies

These gems are lighter and fluffier than other brown butter cookies I have made in the past which are more like shortbread. This recipe was someones attemp to recreate a 'famous' cookie companies recipe. After a few changes to make it my own, this is what I came up with. Using a 1 in cookie scoop my first batch made 32 delightful cookies.

Recipe:
1 & 1/8 cup salted butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 Tbs sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
Coarse Kosher Salt


In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned. Pour browned butter into a heat safe bowl then stir in sugars and vanilla.
Let the butter/sugar mixture cool in the refrigerator until it has hardened, at least an hour.
In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking soda, and  baking powder. Set aside.
Take the butter/sugar mixture out of the refrigerator and scrape into a mixing bowl and beat on low speed until creamy, then add flour mixture half a cup at a time.
The mixture will be crumbly, this is normal.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Roll 1 inch balls of dough and dip in coarse kosher salt. Place on cookie sheet with salt on top.
Bake for 15 minutes.
