Cap'n Jerry's Browned Butter Cookies

1 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
Decorator sugars
Melt 1 cup butter over medium-high heat in heavy 2-quart saucepan.
Continue cooking, watching closely, until butter foams and just turns
a delicate golden color (3 to 5 minutes). IMMEDIATELY REMOVE FROM
HEAT. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 350°F. Combine browned butter, sugar, egg and vanilla in
large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until
well mixed (1 to 2 minutes). Reduce speed to low; add flour. Beat
until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes).
Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in decorator sugars, as
desired. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten
with tines of fork. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden
brown. Let stand 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely.
Makes 3 1/2 dozen cookies.

TIP: For creative designs try a variety of kitchen utensils to flatten
cookies (meat fork, meat mallet, cookie stamps, pastry blender, bottom
of patterned glass, etc.).
