Browned butter snickerdoodles are a nutty take on a cookie that you love to make for the holidays. Wondering what makes snickerdoodles with browned butter different? First, you'll heat butter in a saucepan until it becomes a light golden brown; then you'll stir in the Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix. This changes the flavor from simply adding softened butter. Don't forget to spice the cookies by rolling the dough balls into a mix of sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg before baking. Master browning butter with these cookies, and you'll be on your way to even more delicious holiday recipes.

Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F.

    In 1-quart saucepan, heat butter over medium heat 5 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until light golden brown. Pour into large bowl; cool 5 minutes.

    Stir cookie mix, water and egg into browned butter with spoon until soft dough forms. Shape dough into 36 (1 1/4-inch) balls. In small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Beurre noisette is the French term for “browned butter,” referring to butter that becomes light hazelnut in color during cooking. The wonderful, unforgettable, one-of-kind flavor has no equal or substitution.
  • tip 2
    When browning butter, be sure to watch it carefully, as butter can brown and then burn quickly.
  • tip 3
    For even baking, make sure cookies are the same shape and size.
