I wanted to mix up my cookie game, so instead of sugar cookies or non chocolate  cookie,  I made brown sugar cookies.  Brown sugar is the only sweetener I used.  And I frosted them with brown butter frosting?  Is it brown butter, or browned butter?   I have no idea.  The process to brown butter is the same either way.  You cook it in a saucepan over medium low heat for about ten minutes, until you see specs of brown in it.  Then you immediately remove it from the stove top and set aside so it does not burn.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Chill the individual doughs before baking.

  And preheat your oven before baking.
