Browned Butter Topping
Add butter to a small sauce pan over medium low heat and melt the butter then allow it to brown, about 5-10 minutes.
¼ cup unsalted butter
Once the butter is browned, remove from the heat and pour the butter into a small bowl to slightly cool it and set aside.
Grab a small plate and add the cinnamon and sugar, mix well and set aside.
½ cup Granulated sugar, 1 ½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Cookies
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tarter and salt in a medium bowl then set aside.
1 ¾ cups All-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon Cream of tarter, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon Baking soda
In a separate bowl with a hand mixer or stand mixer, add butter and both sugars and mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup unsalted butter, ⅛ cup plus one teaspoon brown sugar
Now add vanilla and the egg and mix until combined.
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1 Large egg
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until it comes together.
Add parchment paper to a baking sheet. If you do not have this, just omit this step.
Using a ⅛ cup cookie scoop or ⅛ cup measuring cup, scoop out the dough and roll it into a ball then place on to the cookie sheet.
Do this with all of the cookie dough until it is all used up.
Now take one cookie ball at a time and dip one side of the round cookie ball into the browned butter pressing lightly until the part you dipped is slightly flat on top.
Now dip the buttered top into your cinnamon and sugar mix.
Place the cookie ball back on to the cookie sheet with the cinnamon sugar side up, leaving about 1 inch of space between the cookies.
Repeat these steps until all of the cookie dough has been dipped in butter and the cinnamon and sugar mix.
Bake cookies for 12 minutes, or until just browned around the edges.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet. They will firm up while cooling.
