Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1¾ cup flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp unsulphered mild to medium molasses
Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  2. Continue to cook the butter, as it crackles and pops, until the crackling stops and the solids have turned a medium-brown color.
  3. Remove from heat and pour the putter into a separate dish, as not to burn it. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  6. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the brown butter with the sugar. Mix until fully incorporated.
  7. Add the egg, and mix until fully incorporated.
  8. Mix in the vanilla and molasses, then the flour mixture until just combined.
  9. Scoop the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 7-8 minutes. Cookie will not look done.
  10. Let the cookies cool a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a cooling rack.
