Directions
For Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a sauce pan over medium high heat, add your butter and let melt. Once it’s melted, keep it on the heat and let it cook for 5-10 minutes until it foams up and then turns a amber brown color. Transfer into a glass measuring cup and let cool.
- In a large bowl, add your cooled browned butter, brown sugar, and sugar and stir until well combined. Add your eggs, vanilla extract, and stir until light and fluffy.
- Once your wet ingredients are combined, add your flour, cinnamon, cornstarch, baking soda and salt and fold together until just combined.
- Scoop your cookie dough into 1-2 inch balls, roll them in your remaining ½ cup of sugar and 1 tbsp of cinnamon and place them on your baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the oven at 350º for 8 minutes until baked.
For Frosting
- Whip together your butter and cream cheese until well combined and fluffy.
- Add your Belfonte heavy cream, vanilla bean paste, and powdered sugar and whip until it comes together.
