Directions:
- Melt butter in medium saucepan over moderate heat.
- Cook 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns golden, smells nutty and flecks on bottom of pan turn deep caramel brown.
- A thick foam will form and cover the surface just before butter begins to brown - pay close attention and stir more frequently.
- Pour the butter into a medium bowl set into a larger bowl of ice to stop the cooking process.
- Stir frequently until butter appears emulsified and opaque, about 3 minutes.
- Sitr in sugar and vanilla.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl; add to butter and stir until a dough forms.
- Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic and let stand at room temperature 1 to 2 hours.
- Place oven rack in middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Pinch off a piece of dough and press firmly into the bowl of a teaspoon.
- Slide the dough off the spoon and place flat-side down on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Continue forming cookies and arrange on baking sheet.
- Bake until very pale golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Cool cookies on a rack to cool completely.
- Spread cookies with soft, spreadable chocolate ganache or warmed fruit preserves.
