    It’s almost Fall Y’all!   I love baking in the Fall. I love homemade apple pies, sweet potato pie, sourdough bread ~ fresh from the oven, slathered with fresh butter! This week, I decided to make these delicious Browned Butter Brown Sugar Cookies. I’m not a fan of sugar cookies. They’re just too sweet to me. But these made a sugar cookie lover out of me!  A Browned Butter Brown Sugar Cookie lover!  If you’re ready to kick off the baking season with me,  grab a stick of butter! Just make sure it’s real Butter!

    I’m surprised at how many recipes call for browned butter! I’m so thankful for who ever discovered how delightful it is to brown your butter first. If you haven’t done this before….just wait!

    Begin by browning your butter, gently. Use a stainless steel frying pan because it allows you to see exactly how dark your butter is. You don’t want to burn it. Just cook until a medium dark brown, stirring it continuously. Do not leave to answer the phone or door.  Butter burns really fast, so stay with it until  it’s browned.  Remove it from the burner. My husband had to stand outside and watch me finish my browning…yes, he did. He was thankful later. It will have a delicious aroma when it’s browned.
