Brown Sugar Cookies
Sugar cookies made with dark brown sugar for a delicious molasses flavor, a soft, chewy center, and crispy outer edge.
Equipment
- Stand Mixer
- Rubber Spatula
- Cookie Scoop
- Cookie Sheets
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 2⅓ Cups Flour
- 1 Tbsp Corn Starch
- ¾ Tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ Tsp Baking Powder
- 2 Sticks Unsalted Butter Softened
- 2 Cups Dark Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs One egg + one yolk, specifically.
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- ¼ Cup White Sugar
- ½ Tbsp Cinnamon
Instructions
- Make the cookie topping by combining the white sugar and cinnamon, and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, corn starch, baking powder, and baking soda, and set aside.
- With your mixer, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla, and mix to combine.
- Add the flour and brown sugar mixture and mix until combined; it will pull together into a cookie dough fairly quickly.
- Using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, scoop balls of dough and roll them into smooth balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat them.
- Place the dough balls in the fridge and chill for at least 45 minutes to cut back on how much they spread out while baking.
- Preheat your oven to 350℉. Arrange your dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet at least 2" apart to allow for spread. Bake for 11 minutes.
- When baked, slide the parchment paper to a cooling rack to cool and set.
