Notes
How to brown butter: In a large saucepan on a medium-high heat, add the butter and cook until brown; this takes around 3-5 minutes. You will go through the stages of the butter melting, bubbling, foaming and the foam rising up slightly. They key to successful browned butter is stirring – take the butter to the desired shade of brown (I like mine a deep amber).
These cookies will last up to 4 days in a sealed, airtight container.
