Description
These Easy Chewy Brown Sugar Cookies are made with plenty of brown sugar for a soft and chewy cookie that’s a delicious spin on the classic!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups (325g) all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup (168g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups (337g) light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup coarse sugar (additional for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
- Cream the butter and brown sugar together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy. You should be able to see the change in color and texture happen and know it’s ready.
- Add the egg and mix until well combined.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until the dough comes together and is combined. Do not over mix.
- Create 1 1/2 tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough. Gently roll into a ball, then roll each ball in the additional sugar to coat. Set the balls on the baking sheet.
- Bake cookies for 7-9 minutes. The cookies will spread and the centers will look soft, but should look done. Remove just before the edges begin to turn golden. Don’t over bake.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on baking sheets for 4-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
