For a richer flavor, use brown butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and cook until it turns a nutty brown color. Let it cool slightly before using. A touch of lemon or orange zest can brighten the flavor of these cookies. Store cooled tea cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
