Baked Sunday Mornings: Brown Butter Snickerdoodles

This week's Baked Sunday Mornings recipe is one that I have made numerous times during the past year: Brown Butter Snickerdoodles. I used to be devoted to Alice Medrich's snickerdoodle recipe in Cookies and Brownies -- until I tried this brown butter version of the cookie from Baked Elements. I haven't looked back since. 

I've blogged about this recipe before, so I'll refer readers to that previous post for more details on these cookies. But in short, the reasons I prefer this recipe to Alice Medrich's are because these cookies have a chewier texture and they are more attractive. I love their tan color, crackled tops and comfortable heft. And they are delicious! I imagine I will go back to Medrich's recipe from time to time when I'm in the mood for a crunchier cookie, but these brown butter snickerdoodles are my go-to snickerdoodles from now on!
