  1. Preheat

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and swirl occasionally until brown specks form, about 5-7 minutes.

    Combine the butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
