Description
Soft, chewy, and packed with deep caramel flavor, these brown sugar cookies are a cozy treat that comes together in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a larger bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugars until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are still soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra depth of flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light.
- If your kitchen is warm, chill the dough for 15–20 minutes to prevent spreading.
- Sprinkle a little sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty contrast.
