Notes
Note: for even more deliciousness, brown the butter beforehand by cooking on low heat in a saucepan until the butter turns brown in color. Watch it carefully so it does not burn. Take off heat and set aside to room temperature before using. You can do this step ahead of time and keep in refrigerator. Take out to room temperature to soften before making cookies.
