Brown Sugar Cookies

Brown Sugar Cookies are a delightful treat that combines rich, caramel-like sweetness with a soft, chewy texture. With just 20 minutes of prep and a quick 10-minute bake, they’re surprisingly simple to make, yet the 45-minute chilling time ensures they hold their shape beautifully.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled at least 10 minutes or until nearly back to room temperature, about 10 minutes
  • 1 ¾ cup brown sugar* tightly packed
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk room temperature preferred
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • Granulated sugar for rolling

Method
 

  1. Combine your melted (and cooled) butter and sugar in a large bowl and stir until well-combined.
  2. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and stir well.
  3. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet and mix until combined.
  5. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 45 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (if you don’t have parchment paper, bake directly on an ungreased cookie sheet).
  7. Once oven has preheated, remove your chilled cookie dough from the refrigerator and roll dough into approximately 2-Tablespoon-sized scoops. Roll gently to form a ball and roll through granulated sugar until completely coated with sugar.
  8. Place on prepared cookie sheet (space cookies at least 2″ apart).
  9. Bake on 350F (175C) for 11-12 minutes. The centers of the cookies may still seem slightly underbaked — allow cookies to cool completely on cookie sheet to finish cooking there, cookies will be too fragile to move while hot.
