My kids love these soft and chewy butter cookies. I make sure to always whip up a big batch because these cookies go very fast! If you are a cookie addict like myself, I am pretty sure that you’ll enjoy these delicious brown sugar butter cookies!
Ingredients
1 large egg
3/4 c. light brown sugar (5 oz.)
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour (10 oz.)
1 c. unsalted butter (room temperature)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 c. white granulated sugar for rolling (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
How to make Brown Sugar Butter Cookies (Soft & Chewy)
Step 1: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar. Then, scrape the sides of the bowl and mix again. Next, add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix well until blended.
Step 2: Place the flour, salt, and baking powder in another bowl. Mix well until combined, then add to the butter mixture. Mix again until incorporated.
Step 3: Scoop out about 1 1/2 tbsp of dough and roll it into a ball. In the granulated sugar, coat each dough ball (optional).
Step 4: Onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, place the cookie dough, and press down using the tines of a fork.
Step 5: Place the dough balls in the fridge for about 30 to 60 seconds.
Step 6: When almost ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Step 7: Take the cookies out of the fridge and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the centers of the cookies are set.
Step 8: Remove the cookies from the oven when done and let them cool for about 3 to 4 minutes on the baking pan before transferring them to a baking rack to cool completely.
Step 9: You can keep the completely cooled cookies in an airtight container.
