Yield: 2 dozen cookies

Malted Salted Brown Butter Cookies

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup malted milk powder*
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
1 cup brown sugar, dark or light will work
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with parchement paper or a silpat and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, milk powder, cornstarch, baking soda and sea salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the browned butter with the sugars, egg and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
Dough will seem a bit dry and crumbly, but use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion 1-inch sized bits, rolling into balls with your hands if necessary. I found that packing the dough into my cookie scoop and rolling a bit worked perfectly.
Dip the top of each dough ball in a bit of flaky sea salt and arrange on the prepared cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and beginning to crack.
Cool on a wire rack and enjoy!

Notes

*You want regular old malted milk powder for these, but if you can't find it in your store- you can use plain Ovaltine (not chocolate) but cut out the white sugar as there is sugar added and they may be overly sweet otherwise. Recipe adapted from Two Peas and Their Pod
