Here is my newest favorite recipe! After having the twins I decided weekly ice cream dates were needed from our local shop which is where I found these bad boys! I had never browned butter before but if you keep an eye on it, its simple.
EnJOY!
BUTTERSCOTCH DROPS
Cookie Dough:
½ cup butter
1 ½ cups firmly packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ¼ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
In mixing bowl, cream butter, gradually add sugar, blending until light and fluffy. (Make sure sugar is blended and has no lumps) Beat in eggs, one at a time. Blend in sour cream and vanilla.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to mixture on low speed.
Drop by spoonfuls on baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes at 325 degrees – low fan (my confections setting required a 14 minute bake.)
Bake 8 – 10 minutes. 325 degrees – non fan
