1.Start with preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. 2. Next, brown the butter: Add the butter slices to a small sauce pan on medium/low heat.
2. (cont)With a spatula or wooden spoon gently stir the butter around as it melts. To avoid burning, do not leave it unattended. As it melts the butter will begin to foam and turn golden brown in about 15 minutes. Meanwhile the milk solids pieces at the bottom of the pan will be brown and you will smell the nuttiness. When done, transfer to a heat safe dish or glass measuring cup. Set it aside and let cool for 10 minutes.

7. Place cookies in the preheated oven for about 12-13 minutes or until golden brown. When done, spinkle with a touch of sea salt and let cool for about 10 minutes. Then gently move to a cooling wire rack.
Helpful tips on browning butter: If the butter is softer and not as cold, it will take less time to brown. Also another important tip is don’t leave it unattended. Once the butter is foaming and milk solids are turning golden, take it off the heat and transfer to a heat safe dish or glass measuring cup. If you leave it in the hot pan, it will continue to cook and burn it. You can also brown butter in the microwave. Though this is something I haven’t tested.
