• Add the butter to a medium saucepan over medium heat.
• Let the butter melt and keep cooking until it has bubbled, foamed, and then turned an amber color. Remove immediately from heat.
• Place the butter in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to let it cool.
• Transfer the butter to a large mixing bowl and add the powdered sugar.
• Beat the butter and sugar until well combined, scraping down the edges of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
• Add the vanilla and salt, and mix to combine.
• Add the flour, and mix until combined.

If Making Into Bars

• If baking into bars, preheat the oven to 300℉ and line an 8x8" baking dish with parchment paper, and grease. Press the dough into the prepared baking sheet. Using a toothpick, poke holes throughout the dough so it does not puff up.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes, until slightly golden around the edges. Let it cool completely. Cut into bars.

If Making Into Cookies

• If making cookies, divide the dough into two and form into logs. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill for one hour.
• Cut into ¼" cookies and place on baking sheet. Freeze the cookies for 15 minutes and then bake at 325℉ for 12-14 minutes.

Chocolate

• Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. I like to microwave it in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval.
• Either dip the cookies/bars in the chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over the cookies/bars. I like to sprinkle with some sea salt, too.
• Serve and enjoy!
