Brown Sugar Cookies
Regular sugar cookies get an upgrade! These soft brown sugar cookies are made with dark brown sugar, for a more warm, caramel-y flavor.
Servings: 28 cookies
Calories: 130kcal
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 1 1/3 cup dark brown sugar (loosely packed)
- 1 egg (large)
- 1 egg yolk (large)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (I like to go a little generous with this)
- raw sugar (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whip the softened butter and brown sugar together until pale and fluffy (at least 5 minutes on high speed).
- Mix in the whole egg, additional egg yolk, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Stir in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt until just barely combined.
- Use a 1.5-tablespoon scoop to portion balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Sprinkle the tops of the unbaked cookies with raw sugar, if desired.
- Bake until the cookies are set around the edges but still very doughy towards their centers (approximately 5 to 9 minutes).
- Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
