In a large pan, melt the butter & continuously stir for about 5-10 minutes over medium heat until the butter starts to brown.

The butter will go from yellow, to foamy, to golden, & then brown. It will begin to smell nutty when it has reached the perfect browning.

Be careful! It can easily burn, so do not walk away from your butter!

Cool the Butter

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Scoop the dough with a large spoon & drop onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Space the cookies about 4 inches apart so the cookies can spread out evenly.

Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the edges have lightly browned.

Final Touch

Remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt & leave on the baking sheet until cool.

Enjoy!
