1. Brown the Butter – In a small saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter. Swirling the pan occasionally, continue to cook the butter. Once the butter became foamy with audible cracking and popping noises, reduce the heat to low, swirl the pan until the butter develops a nutty aroma and brown bits start to form at the bottom. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
2. In a large bowl, combine brown butter, sugar, vanilla together, mix until no lumps remain. Add in the flour, baking soda, salt. Fold in the chocolate sprinkles.
3. Preheat oven to 170c.
4. Divide and roll dough into balls about 12g, place on baking sheet. Flatten the ball with your palm into a circle. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
5. Baking cookies for 15 minutes until edges are very lightly browned. Add a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of the warm cookies. Let cool completely.
6 Creamy room temperature cream cheese and icing sugar. Add Suncore Foods® Red Beet Powder and mix until smooth. Pip the fillings in the middle of each cookie. Cover with the other cookies on top. Decorate and enjoy!
