Brown Sugar Snickerdoodles with Brown Butter


By The Apartment Kitchen (Visit website)




My friend Rachel came to visit this weekend. I was excited. Very excited. I had been counting down for weeks. The night before she got here I was too pumped to relax (even though I was suffering not-so-nobly from a bad cold). So I got up, and baked these cookies. They were amazing. I am not tooting my own horn, here…because I had little to nothing to do with how awesome these cookies were. (Yes, I said were. These lasted about 2.5 seconds). Brown butter changes the flavor of an ordinary cookie. Plus I added some cinnamon and nutmeg to make it a warm, spicey, snickerdoodley cookie. (Another favorite thing is that you don’t need a mixer to make these cookies.)


Plus, it made the house smell amazing. So my guests decided to stay.




Brown Sugar Snickerdoodles with Brown Butter




Adapted from Cook’s Illustrated

Made 2 dozen




7 oz butter (14 Tbsp)




1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 Tbsp cinnamon

1 tsp freshly ground nutmeg




2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt


1 1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar


1 egg

1 egg yolk

1 Tbsp vanilla extract




1. Heat all but 2 oz (4 Tbsp) of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook the butter until is golden in color (the solids will have browned) and smells nutty. This will take 5-6 minutes.

2. Place the remaining 2 oz of butter into a medium bowl, and pour the brown butter over it. Mix to combine. Let the brown butter cool.

3. In a bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

4. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl until combined.

5. Add the sugars to the cooled butter and mix until there are no lumps. Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla and mix well.

6. Pour the sugar/egg/butter mixture into the flour and mix just to combine. Roll the cookies into small balls (about 1″). Roll the cookies in the sugar/cinnamon mixture to coat.

7. Transfer the cookies to a baking sheet, and press down slightly. Bake in a 350 degree oven until the cookies are cooked through but still tender, about 12-14 minutes. Let cool, or eat warm!
