Rosemary Brown Butter Cookies

Submitted by Meghan O

"A sweet take on a usually savory herb! This soft cookie has tons of deep, rich flavors. The rosemary in this is fairly strong, so consider using only 1 teaspoon for a more subtle flavor. Additionally, this is not a super sweet cookie, so consider upping the sugar to 3/4 c. if you have a sweeter taste."

 

• Ready In: 37mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 24 cookies

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter, browned and cooled
• 2⁄3 cup brown sugar (I used dark brown)
• 2 teaspoons rosemary, finely chopped (fresh rosemary is best)
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon molasses
• 1 1⁄4 cups flour
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Brown the butter my melting in a light-bottomed saucepan (so you can see when the butter turns brown), stirring frequently, until the butter browns and develops a nutty aroma. Set aside to cool.
3. Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda together.
4. In a mixing bowl, mix the brown butter and brown sugar together.
5. Add the rosemary, egg, and molasses.
6. Add the flour mixture.
7. Drop 1 tablespoon of dough onto baking sheets (I use a small 1T cookie scoop).
8. Bake for 7-8 minutes, until the edges begin to brown.
