MAKES: 1 dozen

Ingredients:

• brown butter made from 3/4 cups unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Brown the butter. Remove the pan from the heat. Scrape the browned butter including all those brown bits at the bottom of the pan into a heatproof bowl
3. Add the brown sugar and vanilla to the bowl with the brown butter, mixing to combine light brown sugar, vanilla extract
4. Add flour and baking soda to the butter mixture and stir just until combined. The mixture will resemble wet sand. Note: If your cookie dough is not coming together and seems very dry, try adding a drop more vanilla to the dough, adding more until it comes together. You should be able to squish it together in your hand and it stays together.
5. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out cookie and roll between your palms to form a smooth ball. Place onto the prepared baking sheet. 
6. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown, rotating the tray halfway through. Allow to cooler completely.
