Browned Butter Crinkles

These cookies are so good! The cookies are good without the frosting, but the frosting is AMAZING and is great on other things, other cookies, cake, cupcakes, etc.

2 sticks of butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
pinch of salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/3 cups flour

Beat butter and sugar together. Add egg yolks and salt, and then add soda and vanilla. Fold in flour. Stir until combined. Form balls the size of walnuts. Chill dough balls for one hour. Dip tops in sugar. Press flat with the bottom of a glass and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Let them cool completely before frosting.

Browned Butter Frosting

1 stick of butter
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup heavy cream-you may need more to get the right consistency

In a small skillet, brown butter over medium heat until golden brown flecks appear. Butter will become a little foamy. Stir occasionally to make butter cook evenly. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream. Beat on medium high until a creamy texture forms. Spread onto cooled cookies.

Blackberry Cobbler

This one is from The Pioneer Woman. It is very good!

1 stick of butter, melted
1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup milk
2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries-you can use any kind of fruit that you want

Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a 3-quart baking dish with butter. In a medium bowl, whisk 1 cup of the sugar with the flour and milk. Whisk in the melted butter. Pour the batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle the blackberries evenly over the top of the batter. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over the blackberries. Bake for one hour, or until golden brown and bubbly. When 10 minutes of cooking time remain, sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the top.
Serve with whip cream or ice cream.
