Soft Brown Sugar Cookies Recipe
This Brown Sugar Cookies recipe bakes up a deliciously soft cookie! It’s now on my list of all-time favorites which, I must admit, is considerably long.
Frosted with brown butter frosting, they have suddenly become the favorite of Kid #1 too! Now that’s impressive.
I have no little hints or tricks this time. These are easy to whip up and do not require any dough refrigeration beforehand. Now that’s a sugar cookie I can love!
