Time 1h50m

Yield 54

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cup Gold Medal™ flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. In small saucepan, heat butter over medium heat 4 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until deep nutty brown (watch carefully because butter burns easily). Immediately pour browned butter into large bowl; cool 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt until blended; set aside. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar to cooled butter; beat with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes or until well blended. Add egg and vanilla; beat on low speed until combined. Add flour mixture; beat until soft crumbly dough forms. Press together to form ball; divide in half.
  • On lightly floured surface, or between 2 sheets waxed paper or cooking parchment paper, roll out each dough half to 1/8-inch thickness. Using 2-inch cookie cutters, cut out dough into desired shapes, gently pressing together and rerolling scraps as necessary. Onto ungreased cookie sheets, place cutouts about 1 1/2 inches apart. Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  • Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely before storing in airtight container.
