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!

Ingredients

3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups packed brown sugar

Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until fluffy; scrape side of bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until smooth. Beat in vanilla. On low speed, gradually beat flour mixture into butter mixture until well blended.
