Brown Butter Cinnamon Crinkle Cookies

Brown Butter Cinnamon Crinkle Cookies
In yesterday's tea I had these delectable little cookies that would be great for a Christmas cookie swap and they would also mail great for a gift.  

Brown Butter Cinnamon Crinkle Cookies
The recipe came from my new favorite cookbook by Jennifer McHenry which has lots of great recipes to go with tea or coffee.

Brown Butter Cinnamon Crinkle cookies



Ingredients
10 tablespoons (141 g) unsalted butter, sliced
 
2 1/2 cups (300 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon (5 g) baking powder
1 teaspoon ( 2.5 g) ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (50 g) firmly packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
1/2 cup (60 g) pecans, chopped
1/4 cup ( 28 g) confectioners' sugar

Place the butter in a medium, heavy saucepan.  Cook over medium-low heat until the butter melts and begins to foam, about 3 minutes.  Continue to cook, whisking occasionally, just until brown specks begin to form at the bottom of the pan and the butter has a nutty aroma.  This should take only 2 to 3 minutes.  Remove the pan from the heat and whisk lightly for about 30 seconds.  Transfer the butter to a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool slightly.  
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the cooled butter.  Use an electric mixer on medium speed to mix thoroughly.  Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing just until combined.  Mix in the vanilla.
Reduce the mixer speed to low.  Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.  Stir in the pecans. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F ( 180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.  
Place the confectioners' sugar in a shallow bowl.  Divide the dough into 1-tablespoon (15 g) portions.  Roll the dough into balls and then roll each portion in the confectioners' sugar, coating thoroughly.  Place on the prepared pans, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.  
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned and set.  Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Makes: 36 cookies

I pinned these before I even read one word of the post - they are my kind of cookie! Once I read the ingredients, it was a done deal! I may have to check out that cookbook. I'd love for you to share these at Best Of The Weekend, Friday nights at 8pm! Can't wait to make these!

These look and sound amazing! I can almost smell them baking in the oven! Cinnamon is such a fall smell, and I always associate it with good things since fall is my favorite time of year. Right now my favorite tea is Vanilla with salted caramel, yum! Mixing it with cookies like these just makes it all the more yummy!:)
