\"Brown<\/a><\/p>\n

These browned butter and coconut cookies are another amazing recipe from Smitten Kitchen<\/a>! Serve them with coconut ice cream! Or tropical fruits! Or with tea! Or by themselves!<\/p>\n

Just 2 minor changes: I reduced the amount of coconut to 3 cups and I use salted butter for EVERYTHING!<\/p>\n

1 cup (2 sticks) butter
\n2 tablespoons water
\n1\/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
\n3\/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
\n1 egg (or substitute 1 tablespoon chia seeds soaked in 3 tablespoons water)
\n1\/2 teaspoon vanilla
\n1 1\/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons flour
\n1 teaspoon baking soda
\n1\/4 teaspoon salt
\n3 cups desiccated coconut<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Melt butter in a pan over medium low heat until it starts to brown. Really stir the butter a lot and watch carefully since you don’t want it to burn, just brown. I got really close to wondering if my butter was burnt, but it was delicious! Add 2 tablespoons of water, pour into a bowl and refrigerate for an hour or two.<\/li>\n
  2. Take out your browned butter and scoop into a mixing bowl. Add both sugars, beat until fluffy, then add\u00a0the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.<\/li>\n
  3. In another mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Then stir into the butter\/sugar mixture. Then add the coconut and stir until just combined.<\/li>\n
  4. Scoop dough into 2 inch balls on a cookie tray covered in parchment, flatten with the back of a spoon somewhat, and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 14-16 minutes. I thought 16 minutes made a super delicious, but crisp cookie! Soft would be good too, but there is no fear of overcooking these. They rock when crisp.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
