Description
Decadent brown sugar butter cookies that are soft, chewy, and rich in flavor, perfect for sharing and making memories.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together your softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they fully incorporate. Add in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, being careful not to over-mix.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop equal amounts of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers still look soft.
- Let your cookies rest on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, avoid over-mixing the dough and let the cookies cool slightly before moving them. A sprinkle of sea salt on top can enhance the flavors.
