Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- sugar sprinkles optional topping
Instructions
- Place the butter in a saucepan over medium heat whisking occasionally. Once melted the butter will begin to foam. Continue whisking occasionally for another 5-8 minutes until butter has lightly browned. Then pour the butter into a heat safe bowl and allow to cool for 15-30 mins in the fridge until slightly cooler than room temperature.
- While the butter is cooling, in a large bowl add the flour and baking soda and mix together.
- Next, in the bowl of a stand mixer add in the browned butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Beat on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until combined.
- Then add the egg and vanilla in and mix until combined.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until a dough forms.
- Next using a Tablespoon cookie scoop roll the dough into balls then place them on a plate or baking sheet.
- Chill the dough balls in the fridge for 30 minutes. After chilled roll each cookie dough ball in sugar sprinkles, if desired.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Place the chilled dough balls onto your prepared baking sheet and bake in your oven for 12-13 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. Then remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool.
- Finally serve and enjoy!
