Brown Sugar Cookies
Brown Sugar Cookies are made with browned butter combined with dark brown and granulated sugars, eggs, vanilla, and a blend of flour, baking soda, and baking powder. The browned butter adds a nutty depth while the sugars provide rich sweetness and moist texture. The dough can be cut or rolled into balls and sprinkled with sugar before baking to form cookies with a soft center and slightly crisp edges.
