Instrucciones

brown butter

Start by browning the butter. You'll take 1½ cups of butter and melt in a medium saucepan, and then continue to cook past the point of boiling. You will do this over medium heat, past the point of the butter foaming, until it turns a nice golden brown, and has a nutty smell. Make sure you are stirring and watching it, because it will turn from perfectly brown to burnt fairly quickly. Once finished browning, separate so you have 1 cup worth for the cookies and about a ¼ cup for the frosting. Place in the fridge to solidify again. You will want it to become a soft solid again to start the cookie dough, the same consistency as room temperature butter you would use to normally bake cookies.

butter and sugars

Place 1 cup of browned butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.

eggs

Add eggs one at a time, mix until smooth on low speed, anout 30 seconds each egg. Beat in the vanilla and carrots.

dry ingredients

Add baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and flour to bowl and mix on low, being careful not to overmix. I usually like to stop mixing when I still have flour remnants around the bowl. Fold in oats.

scoop

Scoop the dough into large balls. I like to use a ¼ cup cookie scoop. Chill for 2-24 hours.

oven

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

cookie balls

Place 6 cookie balls on your baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 11-14 minutes. You're looking for a nice golden brown outside rim.

frosting

Mix the remaining 1/4 cup browned butter with cream cheese in a large mixing bowl fitted with the paddle attachment for 2-3 minutes, or until completely smooth. Mix in vanilla, salt and powdered sugar. Frost the tops of the cookies and sprinkle with toasted coconut.
