Original Brown Butter Refrigerator Cookies Recipe

Directions:

1. Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until golden brown, about 7-9 minutes (do not burn). Remove from the heat; stir in brown sugar until blended.
2. Transfer to a large bowl; whisk in eggs one at a time. Combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; gradually add to butter mixture and mix well. Stir in pecans.
3. Shape into four 8-in. rolls; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
4. Cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 5-7 minutes or just until set. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: About 10-1/2 dozen.
