Genius Brown Sugar Cookies (Ready-to-Print Version)
Simple brown sugar treats with a chewy texture made from three pantry staples.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
02 -
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
→ Dairy
03 -
8 tablespoons cold salted butter
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup.
02 -
Place all ingredients into a food processor and pulse for 2-3 minutes until the mixture forms a cohesive dough. Alternatively, use a pastry cutter or your hands to incorporate the cold butter into the flour and sugar.
03 -
Transfer the dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and press it into an approximately 8×8 inch square using your fingers, embracing a rustic appearance.
04 -
Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the dough square into rectangles of preferred size, then gently separate the pieces to allow space for baking.
05 -
Refrigerate the baking sheet with dough pieces for 15 minutes to prevent excessive spreading during baking and to achieve a chewy texture.
06 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn a light golden color. The cookies may appear slightly underbaked initially but will firm as they cool.
# Handy Tips:
