Brown Sugar Cookies Recipe (Crisp and Chewy)
These cookies are perfect for any occasion—or no occasion at all. Who needs a reason to indulge, right? Let’s whip up a batch and get that cookie mania rolling!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional for that extra zing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is critical because nobody likes mushy, under-baked cookies—except maybe a cookie monster, but we’re not going there!
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s nice and fluffy. Yes, this is a work-out for your arm, but cookies are worth it!
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined. At this point, don’t let your mind wander to cookie eating. It’s too soon!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if you’re feeling fancy). Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix; we want cookies, not cement!
- Using a spoon, scoop out dough balls and place them on a baking sheet, leaving enough space between them to spread (they might get a bit friendly while baking).
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them; you don’t want to burn your golden treasures.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Patience is key… but feel free to sneak a warm one!
And voilà! You now have the ultimate recipe for Brown Sugar Cookies that will make everyone’s taste buds sing! Share them, savor them, or hoard them—no judgment here! Happy baking!
