Brown Sugar Cookies

Today's "adventure" comes from Joy the Baker's blog. I just thought these sounded interesting.  I am a sugar cookie addict.  Brown Sugar cookies really are a whole new adventure for me!!  These are so simple to make!

The recipe:

Brown Sugar Cookies

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter (softened)
1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar (I didn't have dark brown, so I used light brown)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg

Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and ginger.  Set aside

Mix butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.  Stop the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.  Add the dry ingredients all at once to the butter/sugar mixture.  Beat on low speed until the dough just starts to come together.  Stop the mixer and finish mixing the ingredients with a spadula.

Cover the bowl with Saran Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Line a baking sheet with parchment papper.  Drop tablespoon size balls of dough onto the baking sheet.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges.  Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. 

Enjoy!!  These really are very good!!  Don't think they will last long in this house.

VERDICT

These are definitely winners!  My husband loved them.  A keeper recipe for sure!
