A little extra vanilla extract adds to the deep flavor profile, and then they are rolled in powdered sugar, so there is a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture to finish everything off. These cookies are just as perfect for a sweet treat on a weekday as they are on your holiday cookie platter.
What Are Crinkle Cookies?
Crinkle cookies are simply cookie rolled into powdered sugar before they go in the oven, so as they bake they spread and create a pretty, crackled appearance. Typically you see Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, which are super pretty with the contrast of the dark cookie and the powdered sugar…but why let chocolate have all the fun?
Why Brown the Butter?
If you are asking that question I wonder if we can still be friends… Ok, just kidding…sort of. Browning butter adds SO much flavor to anything you add it to. And typically you can replace regular butter with browned butter whenever your recipe calls for butter! Browned butter is just butter, cooked until it’s melted, and then cooked longer, swirling or stirring the butter so it doesn’t burn. The milk solids toast and create tons of flavor and the butter turns a pretty amber color. You can use brown butter melted, or allow it to come back to room temperature and return to its solid state. This cookie recipe uses the butter in its melted state, just slightly cooled.

I also baked my cookies for much less time than the original recipe calls for, which is 18-22 minutes. I did this so my cookies would be soft. If you prefer a crunchier cookie bake for the full bake time, 18-22 minutes. from the book: Quick Shop & Prep 5 Ingredient Baking
