BROWN BUTTER CRISPIES

Steps:

• Cream the Brown Butter with both sugars in a stand mixer until well combined.
• Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Add the vanilla and stir to combine. Add to the butter/sugar mixture and mix well.
• Combine the flour, salt and baking soda in a separate bowl. Mix carefully into the egg/butter mixture until well combined. Add the quick-cooking oats and mix well again. Add the finely chopped pecans and mix well to combine.
• Divide the dough in half and place each half of the dough on a sheet of waxed paper. Roll the dough into a log and wrap it tightly in the waxed paper. Now you can either chill or freeze the dough until later, or you can go ahead and slice and bake the dough.
• When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the dough 3/4-inch-thick, then place on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake until they are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheets.
• Add the butter to a medium skillet over medium heat. Allow it to melt and bubble up, swirling the pan to keep the butter moving around, for 3 to 4 minutes. When the butter is a medium golden brown, remove the pan from the heat (it will continue browning in the pan over the next 30 seconds or so!). Pour the butter (and any solids in the bottom of the pan) into a heatproof bowl and allow it to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

NUTELLA-BROWN BUTTER CRISPIES

Steps:

• Lightly butter a 13x9" baking dish, then line with parchment paper, leaving a 2" overhang on long sides. Lightly butter parchment. Cook 3/4 cup butter in a large pot over medium heat, swirling, until butter foams, then browns (be careful not to let it burn), 5-7 minutes. Add marshmallows and salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes. Add Nutella and stir until completely incorporated into marshmallow mixture, about 2 minutes.
• Remove pot from heat and add half of puffed rice to marshmallow mixture; stir with a nonflexible heatproof spatula or wooden spoon, scraping bottom of pot and folding, until cereal is coated. Add remaining cereal and fold until mixture is homogenous. (It's a lot of cereal, so you'll need to exert some effort.) If mixture is too stiff, heat over low while continuing to fold in cereal. Scrape into prepared pan; let cool slightly, then cover with a sheet of parchment paper. Press down firmly to make an even, compact layer (you want the top to be as flat as possible; a smaller pan, like a loaf or an 8x8" pan, works great for this). Cover crispies loosely with plastic and let sit until cool, about 2 hours.
• Just before serving, using parchment paper overhang, lift crispies out of pan and place upside down on a cutting board; remove parchment. Using a serrated knife, trim about 1/2" from all sides to make a squared-off rectangle, then cut into a 6x4 grid to make 24 squares. Place crispies on a wire rack, spacing at least 1" apart.
• To make half the crispies red, if desired, pulse freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until finely ground; add luster dust and pulse just to combine. Using a fine-mesh sieve, dust 12 squares with strawberry powder, then, using a dry, clean sieve, dust remaining 12 squares with powdered sugar. Or feel free to dust all 24 squares with powdered sugar instead.
• Do Ahead
• Crispies can be made 1 day ahead. Leave in pan. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature. Cut into squares and coat just before serving.

BROWN BUTTER KRISPIES

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter and line parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Lightly grease the parchment.
• Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until the foam begins to subside, about 4 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until the butter solids brown in the bottom of the pan, another minute or two.
• Add the marshmallows, cinnamon, salt and vanilla. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring, until the marshmallows are evenly melted. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the puffed rice cereal until evenly coated.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and gently press down to smooth the top. Let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Cut into the desired shapes using a paring knife or cookie cutters.

BEST NUTELLA BROWNIES

Steps:

• Put rack in center of the oven. Preheat oven at 325°F Put parchment paper in the bottom of a 9 inch square pan (but taking care to let exceed a strip of parchment paper on each side (2 sides) and butter the two other sides). Sorry for this sentence, I had so much trouble translating it LOL.
• In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Set aside.
• In another bowl, with an electric mixer, beat eggs, nutella, brown sugar and vanilla until the mixture is creamy and homogeneous, about 2 minutes. At low speed, add dry ingredients alternating with melted butter.
• Spread in the pan. Cook 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of cake comes out with lumps and not completely clean.
• Let cool in the pan about 2 hours. Remove from pan and cut in squares.
