Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: In a stainless steel pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns amber brown (about 10 minutes). Transfer to a mixing bowl.

  6. Chill Dough: Scoop onto a parchment-lined tray and chill in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours (overnight for best flavor).
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake frozen dough for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.
  8. Cool & Enjoy: Let cookies cool on a wire rack before serving.
