Browned Butter Peanut Butter Cookies

How to make Browned Butter Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe - I remember playing in the kitchen creating this recipe, being so curious as to how they’d turn out with so few ingredients. This is now one of my “go to” cookie recipes when I want a sweet indulgence or am in need of a plate of cookies for a friend when time is short. This is a great recipe to have the kids help measure and stir the ingredients. With only four ingredients, you can have homemade cookies prepared in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons (1⁄2 stick) unsalted butter
3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 cup creamy peanut butter

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.

2. Cut the butter into fourths, and melt in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking frequently; the butter will bubble, have a nutty aroma, start to brown, and brown specks will form at the bottom of the pan in 2 to 4 minutes. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes.

3. Add the sugar and egg to a medium bowl and mix to combine. Slowly add the browned butter and stir to combine. Add the peanut butter, stirring, until well combined.

4. Scoop 2 tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until crisp on the outside. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.
