Soft and Chewy Brown Sugar Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Soft and Chewy Brown Sugar Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for some delicious cookies.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, softened butter, eggs, and a splash of vanilla extract.

3. Step 3

   Grab your electric mixer and beat this delightful mixture until it transforms into a smooth and creamy blend that smells heavenly.

4. Step 4

   In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, creating a light and airy mixture.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to bring the two mixtures together—gradually add the flour blend to the buttery goodness, stirring gently until the dough is fully combined and ready to shine.

6. Step 6

   On a large plate, pour out some confectioners' sugar, which will give your cookies a sweet, snowy finish.

7. Step 7

   Take about 1 ½ teaspoons of dough and roll it into a little ball, then roll that ball in the confectioners' sugar until it’s beautifully coated.

8. Step 8

   Place these sugary dough balls on a baking sheet, making sure to leave some space between each one so they can spread out while baking.

9. Step 9

   Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the cookies bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.

10. Step 10

    Once they’re done, let the cookies cool on the baking pan for about 2 minutes—this helps them set just right—before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate the first bite of your homemade treats!.
