Brown Butter Cinnamon Crinkle Cookies

I love the slightly nutty flavor of the brown butter, really gives these cookies a great taste!!!! I opted for the salted butter but you can use unsalted if you like since the recipe calls for kosher salt also.

Ingredients

10 Tablespoons (140 g) Butter
1 cup (200 g) Granulated sugar
¼ cup (55 g) Light brown sugar
1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) Vanilla Extract
2 (2) Eggs large
2 ½ cups (312.5 g) All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) Baking powder
1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) Ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Kosher salt
½ cup (60 g) Powdered sugar for coating dough balls

Instructions

Take your butter and bring to a low boil over medium heat until it gets frothy. Stir until the white froth disappears. The next step is the butter becomes clear along with the bubbles. Closely watch the butter since it will change to an amber color. Just don't burn the butter. Set the butter aside to cool.
In a bowl, weigh or measure the flour. Add to the flour the baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. I run a whisk through it to blend all the ingredients together. Set this bowl aside. In another bowl, weigh or measure the sugar and the light brown sugar, and set it aside.
In your mixer add your sugar, light brown sugar, and the cooled brown butter. Blend on medium speed until combined. Add your vanilla extract and incorporate one egg before adding the second. Mix until smooth. Add about ⅓ of the flour mixture at a low speed until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C or 180°C) and line 2 cookie pans with parchment paper. I use a medium cookie scooper so the balls are even and roll them into balls. I do all the balls first. Roll 12 cookie balls around the powdered sugar to coat. I do one pan at a time. I like to coat the balls just before I put them in the oven. Bake for 11-13 minutes and leave on the pan for a minute before moving them to a cooling rack.
