How To Make sea salt caramel cookies

• 1

  Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Brown the 1 1/2 stick butter in a skillet. You will know when it is brown when the butter turns slightly golden. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and chili powder in a separate bowl.
• 2

  Pour browned butter into a medium mixing bowl and add 1/2 cup brown sugar and vanilla extract.
• 3

  Add wet ingredients to the dry and fold until incorporated. If it is dry, add a touch of water. Pinch off 1 1/2 inch amounts and roll gently in your hand just until a ball forms. (this has to be done fairly quickly or the mix will dry out and it will crumble) Place on baking sheet and press down to flatten. sprinkle a tiny amount of sea salt on top. (If you don't want the sea salt, you can sub salted butter for the unsalted.)

  Bake until just brown around the edges.
