Brown Sugar Cookies
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 Tablespoons granulated (white) sugar
1 cup + 2 Tablespoons all-purpose (plain) flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 300◦F. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the butter with the sugar. Add the flour and salt, mix well. Gather dough together and roll into 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with cutters, or simply into squares with a knife. Place cookies spaced slightly apart (they do not spread) onto an ungreased or lined baking sheet. Bake for about 25 minutes until set. Watch carefully, as they may burn if cooked longer than this.
This is a quick and easy cookie recipe. It is different from the usual sugar cookies because it uses brown sugar, giving the cookies more of a caramel flavor. These cookies are a bit like shortbread cookies too, because they use lots of real butter, and a large proportion of flour, and no egg. I used these cookies as the base for a creative design I will feature in tomorrow's post.
