GRANDMA'S SUGAR COOKIES WITH BROWN BUTTER ICING
My grandma used to make these for us growing up. I got a hold of this recipe when she passed away so her legacy can live on...and now hopefully it will become apart of yours!

Steps:
- 1. Cream together shortening, sugar, egg and vanilla.
- 2. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt.
- 3. Mix the dry with the wet ingredients.
- 4. Use a cookie scoop or a 2 Tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop and drop cookies onto a cookie sheet.
- 5. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
- 6. Put a 1/4 cup of butter into a sauce pan over medium-medium high heat. The butter will melt and then come to a boil.
- 7. Allow the butter to cook until the bubbles have died down and you are left with a brown butter.
- 8. Add in powder sugar a little at a time. After the sugar has been mixed in, add about a teaspoon of water so the frosting becomes a spreading consistency. If the frosting is watery or it appears the sugar hasn't absorbed all of the butter, add more powedered sugar.
- 9. When the cookies have cooled, gently frost the cookies with the brown butter frosting.

[email protected]I had some trouble getting the cookies to brown evenly. I think my oven might not be heating evenly. Other than that, they turned out great!

[email protected]These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
