Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Brown the butter: In a large skillet set over medium heat, add the butter. Using a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon, stir or swirl the butter around the pan as it melts. This stirring is important to ensure the butter melts and cooks evenly. After the butter melts, it will begin to foam. It may also sizzle and even sputter a bit, so be careful! Be sure to continue stirring and to stay close to the stovetop so the butter does not burn. As the milk solids begin to separate, they will turn a rich golden brown color and settle to the bottom. Remove the pan from the heat. Scrape the browned butter including all those brown bits at the bottom of the pan into a heatproof bowl
Add the brown sugar and vanilla to the bowl with the brown butter, mixing to combine
Add flour and baking soda to the butter mixture and stir just until combined. The mixture will resemble wet sand
Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out cookie and roll between your palms to form a smooth ball. Place onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops of cookies with sea salt
Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown, rotating the tray halfway through. Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack

Tips

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days
Freeze in a single layer on a cookie sheet then place in a freezer-safe bag and store up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature

Is browned butter Ghee?

  Butter is roughly 80 percent pure fat, 16 percent water, and 1 percent milk solids (salted varieties contain about 1% salt). Ghee is just the fat, with nearly all of the water cooked off and the solids strained out. If you’ve ever had brown butter, that delicious nuttiness you taste is the milk solids becoming toasted.
