Easy Brown Sugar Cookies
Easy Brown Sugar Cookies are soft, chewy, and simple to make. Made with just a few ingredients, these cookies are filled with a buttery, caramel flavor and are so delicious!
Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1½ cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- ½ cup granulated sugar, for rolling dough (if desired)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer with a fitted paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and mix.
- Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating until just combined. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least two hours, or overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F. Line two large baking pans with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, add remaining ½ cup granulated sugar. Scoop dough by the tablespoonful and then roll in sugar.
- Place onto prepared pans and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Let cool on pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool completely on wire racks.
Notes
