Recipe: Soft Brown Butter Glazed Cookies

Ingredients:

For the Cookies:

• 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups (310g) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Brown Butter Glaze:

• 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 cups (180g) powdered sugar
• 3-4 tablespoons milk (adjust for consistency)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cookies:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
   • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
   • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
   • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
   • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Cool completely on a wire rack.
2. Make the Brown Butter Glaze:
   • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
   • In a bowl, whisk together the browned butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
3. Assemble the Cookies:
   • Drizzle or spread the glaze over the cooled cookies. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
