Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° and prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan, cook butter over medium heat while whisking constantly. The butter will begin to foam, and start to turn brown at the bottom of the pan.
  • Once the butter begins to brown, transfer immediately to a separate bowl. Let cool for 15 minutes.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment mix browned butter and sugars. Mix until combined.
  • Add egg, egg yolks, greek yogurt and vanilla extract.
  • Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Let the dough sit for 5 - 10 minutes to allow the dough set up and become more firm.
  • Take about two tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball.
  • Roll the ball in the brown sugar.
  • Place on a cookie sheet, about 2 inch apart from each other and bake for 8-11 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden brown.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet.
