During a search for a drop sugar cookie recipe, I came across this delicious variation. I decided that I had to try it, and I am so glad that I did. The brown sugar gives these cookies a richer flavor than granulated sugar would, and the cinnamon adds the perfect touch. These cookies reminded me somewhat of snickerdoodles, and the smell of them baking was divine.
Brown Sugar Cookies
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar (dark or light)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, and beat until well combined. Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until just incorporated.
Scoop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, about 3 inches apart. Bake the cookies for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are just golden around the edges and set on the top. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Makes about 48 cookies.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
