You can replace it wherever you’d normally add regular butter. Try this recipe out and let me know what you think.
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR THE BEST BROWN BUTTER ALMOND COOKIES:
brown your butter: brown butter is super easy to make! its also a way of taking simple ingredients and giving them a big bang. to make brown butter all you need to do is add the butter to a sauce pan and simmer it on medium high till brown bits form. this happens quick so don’t leave the butter unattended as it can burn. scrap the brown bits around to keep everything flowing. once the butter is browned but also smells warm and nutty. its done. Return it to the fridge to chill and set up.
low and slow: make sure you bake your cookies at 300 degrees F. the lower temperature will keep the cookie from getting too much color.
if you dry out your dough?: cornstarch and time will naturally dry out a cookie dough. if you make these ahead of time. make sure the cookie batter isn’t too cold and if it is too crumbly water will help moisten dough without compromising the texture.
