Description

These chewy brown sugar cookies boast a soft, tender center with perfectly golden edges. Made with a rich blend of dark brown and granulated sugar, combined with butter and vanilla, these cookies deliver a classic nostalgic sweetness that’s irresistible in every bite. Perfect for baking enthusiasts looking for a simple yet delicious cookie recipe.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) ensuring it reaches the right temperature before baking for even cooking.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, which helps create the chewy texture.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the whole egg and egg yolk, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until everything is fully incorporated for richness and flavor.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, to ensure even distribution of the leavening and seasoning.
  5. Mix wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which keeps cookies tender.
  6. Scoop the dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment or silicone mats, spacing them well apart to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake: Place trays in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges turn golden while the centers remain soft, which yields that perfect chewy texture.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack or serving, allowing them to set properly.

Notes

  • For softer cookies, avoid overbaking and pull them out as soon as edges are golden.
  • If you prefer crispier cookies, extend baking time by a minute or two.
  • Using room temperature butter helps achieve the right creaming consistency.
  • Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Adding a pinch of cinnamon can enhance the flavor profile.
