• cup white sugar↗1⁄4 cup
• cup salted butter, melted and hot↗1⁄2 cup
• large egg↗1
• teaspoons bourbon vanilla↗2 teaspoons
• cup all-purpose flour↗3⁄4 cup

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. 2

   Add the brown sugar and white sugar to the melted butter and set aside (some of the brown sugar will melt).

3. 3

   In mixer with paddle gently mix egg and bourbon vanilla.

4. 4

   Add the butter and sugar mixture to the egg mixture and beat on low until mixed well.

5. 5

   Add flour all at once to mixer. Mix well; you will see it look just like it did on the program, sticky and ribbon-like. I used a measuring cup to pour it into the paper cups without the mess of a melon baller.

6. 6

   Bake at 350 degrees F for 14 minutes, turning at 7 minutes.

7. 7

   Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Keep in closed container after cooled.
