Instructions

1 Zest 1 large wax-free fresh lemon and keep the zest in the fridge covered for
later use. Squeeze the lemon, measure exact two tablespoons into an ice cube
tray and freeze.
2 cut the butter into smaller cubes and place in a small saucepan. Melt the butter
over medium heat until it begins to foam. Lower the heat and keep stirring not
letting the milk solids get stuck at the bottom of the pan. It is ready when the
milk solids are golden brown, a sweet buttery and nutty aroma lingers around -
about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately add the frozen lemon juice
whisking until the lemon juice melts and fully incorporated with the butter.
Transfer in a measuring cup and put in the fridge to harden into soft butter.
3 In a small bowl, combine ½ cup + 2 tablespoon sugar and lemon zest, rub with
your finger to draw out the natural flavor of lemon.
4 Place the soft brown butter in the mixing bowl. Using the paddle attachment,
beat the butter for a minute. Add the sugar and zest mixture, salt and baking
soda, and beat at a medium speed until just combined. Scrape the sides and
bottom of the bowl and beat for another minute. (Do not beat until fluffy). At a
low speed, add the flour and beat for 1 to 2 minutes. Finish mixing using the
spatula as you scrape the sides and bottom of the pan.
5 Place the cookie dough in the fridge to rest for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
6 Preheat the oven to 375, Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
7 Place the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a small bowl. Scoop the
cookie dough making 12 round balls. Roll one side of the dough into the sugar
and arrange in the baking sheet sugar side up, spacing 2 inches apart-"IT WILL
SPREAD". Put in the oven, lower the heat to 325°F. Bake for 20 minutes or until
you can smell a citrusy and nutty aroma, and the cookies are golden brown. Let
it cool in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer into the cooling rack to cool
completely.
