Browned Butter Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 c. butter
1/3 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder

Preparation

Put butter into heavy skillet and slowly heat until butter is browned, about 5 minutes. Turn into mixing bowl. Beat the butter with the sugar, egg and vanilla until light.
Add flour and baking powder, stirring to make a stiff dough. Shape into little balls, using about 1 level tablespoonful of dough for each. Place on cookie sheet.
Press center down with thumb to make an indentation. Bake at 350\u00b0 for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are firm, but not overly browned.
If they are overbrowned, cookies become very hard.
