BROWN SUGAR CRACKLE COOKIES



Brown Sugar Crackle Cookies image

We can't get enough of these delicious homemade brown sugar cookies. What's Betty's secret to making them so soft and chewy? This recipe uses brown sugar instead of white sugar, which adds a bit more natural moisture to these cookies, giving them their light and fluffy texture. This brown sugar cookie recipe is simple to mix up and makes enough for about 56 cookies. Take it easy, if you don't want to make all 56 cookies in one day, freeze half the dough and come back to it another time!

BROWN SUGAR DROP COOKIES



Brown Sugar Drop Cookies image

In recipes like this, that use a lot of vanilla extract, I find it makes a big difference if you use pure vanilla instead of imitation. I look for sales & stock up. That & real butter! Ok, everything else too. :)

Provided by Baby Peanut

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c butter, softened
1 c packed brown sugar
1 c white sugar
2 eggs
2 Tbsp vanilla(or almond)extract
3 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
optional: chips, dried fruit, nuts

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet. Cream together the butter or margarine, white sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Add vanilla and stir. Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and mix well. Drop by spoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
  • Follow the recipe carefully. Don't substitute ingredients or change the measurements, as this could affect the outcome of your cookies.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making your cookies light and airy.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help to firm up the dough and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Overbaking will make your cookies dry and crumbly, while underbaking will make them soft and chewy.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help to set the flavor and texture of the cookies.

Conclusion:

Brown sugar drop cookies are a classic and delicious treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite add-ins, such as nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit. With a little planning and effort, you can make a batch of brown sugar drop cookies that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
