Brown Butter Snickerdoodles Submitted By Lynne Howard Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. The butter will begin to foam. Make sure you whisk consistently during this process. After a couple of minutes, the butter will begin to brown on the bottom of the saucepan; continue to whisk and remove from heat as soon as the butter begins to brown and give off a nutty aroma.
• Immediately transfer the butter to a bowl to prevent burning. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
• With an electric mixer, mix the butter and sugars until thoroughly blended.
• Beat in the egg, yolk, vanilla, and yogurt until combined.
• Add the dry ingredients slowly and beat on low-speed just until combined.
• Chill your dough for 3 hours or as long as possible in the refrigerator (important!).
• NOTE: You can place it in the freezer for 30 minutes if you are super eager, although I cannot promise the same results if you do this. Fridge is always best! You want the dough VERY cold. If you desire a 'puffy' cookie, place them in the fridge overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Once dough is chilled measure about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball.
• Meanwhile mix the rolling mixture in a bowl.
• Roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place dough balls on cookie sheet, 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
• Bake the cookies 8-11 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden brown. They will look a bit underdone in the middle, but will continue to cook once out of the oven. Bake longer if you like crispier cookies.
• Cool the cookies on the sheets at least 2 minutes. Remove the cooled cookies from the baking sheets after a few minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Repeat with remaining dough.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift together the flours, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
• In a medium or large saucepan, add the butter and melt over medium heat. The larger the pan you use, the quicker the process will be!
• Bring the butter to a boil, stirring frequently. As the water begins to boil out of the butter, the milk solids in the butter will separate, sink to the bottom, and begin to toast and brown. As this begins to happen, make sure to stir constantly so the butter browns evenly. It may become quite foamy, splatter a bit, and be difficult to see, so keep a close eye on it, removing from heat and continuing to stir if it starts to foam over.
• Once the butter has turned a nice nutty brown, remove from the heat and pour into a large liquid measuring cup to stop the cooking. Allow it to cool down for a minute or two, give it a stir, and carefully add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the butter to bring it back up to 1 cup (240 ml) of liquid.
• Set aside to cool to room temperature. To help speed this process up, you can place in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. You want to make sure the butter is still liquid when you're adding it to the dough later on, so make sure to remove after 15 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add the sugars, vanilla, espresso powder, and cooled brown butter. Cream together with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
• Add the egg and yolk and beat until incorporated.
• Add the dry ingredients, about ⅓ of the mixture at a time, and beat between additions until just incorporated. It's okay for there to be a bit of unmixed flour on the edge of bowl, this will be incorporated in the next step.
• Using a wooden spoon, fold the chocolate chips and chunks into the dough
• Scoop the cookies onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in 3-tablespoon-sized mounds.
• For optimal flavor, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or, even better, overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Evenly space the dough 3 inches (8 cm) apart from one another on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 12-14 minutes.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat butter over medium heat 5 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until light golden brown. Pour into large bowl; cool 5 minutes.
• Stir cookie mix, water and egg into browned butter with spoon until soft dough forms. Shape dough into 36 (1 1/4-inch) balls. In small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Roll balls in sugar-spice mixture. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly. Discard any remaining sugar-spice mixture after rolling balls.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store covered in airtight container.
