WOW!! Even better than I expected...these are a new staple my recipe book!  If you love regular sugar cookies, these will make you swoon!
💛💛💛

These look perfectly soft and chewy! My favorite kind of cookie!

I added some ginger, nutmeg, and allspice to this and used it as an apple pie crust. Absolutely delicious.

I modified this recipe by using 1/4 cup of crisco (because all butter recipes tend to spread waaay too much in my oven) and they are so amazing! 

Rolled a batch in some pumpkin pie spice/ brown sugar too because i really need October lol 

Thank you!!

These are HEAVENLY!!! Instead of using parchment paper to prevent sticking, I used butter and sprinkled the tops with cinnamon instead of coating in sugar. Absolutely some of my favorites!

WOW!!! Hubs Loves these cookies-I added chopped walnuts for him.  I haven't tasted yet...guess I should grab one before they are all gone.. Definitely adding these to my cookie recipes. Thanks!!✌❤

I made these cookies today &amp; they are great! My husband was trying to remember some kind of brown sugar cookies his mom used to make many years ago so I searched &amp; found these, he thinks I hit the jackpot! Next time I’m going to try putting pecans in, think they will be really good!

Fantastic recipe! I am making them for the third time this weekend. By far, the best sugar cookie I have ever eaten!!

These are great! My husband was doing laps through the kitchen to keep snagging them. I used dark brown sugar (I love that molasses-y flavor!) and split the vanilla into half vanilla/half almond extract (my standard cookie trick.) The dough was pretty stiff and they didn't spread much probably because I used a smaller cookie scoop, but they did dome and then drop beautifully. These are easily as wonderful as your original sugar cookies (love that recipe too!)

Can I roll all the dough out and use cookie cutters. If not, do you have a similar recipe that I can use with my cookie cutters? It is Valentine's Day and I want to make some cookies with my little one.

My new Favorite cookie! Everyone at work is binging on them.  Thanks so much for this recipe!  I used different coloured sugars to roll them in and the cookies were perfectly chewy and not undercooked at all. 

I was looking for a brown sugar cookie recipe as the hoarders have bought up all the white sugar panic buying because of the current scare. I need to save my white for hummingbird feeders. 

Very good recipe! I used dark brown sugar. Weighed each at 20 grams.  Rolled into balls and pressed into raw sugar.  Flattened them a wee bit.  Turned out perfect at bake time of 9 minutes.  Recipe is a keeper.

These cookies were wonderful!  My only complaint is that they don't last very long.  I added choco chips, walnuts and bourbon soaked raisins as a means to clean out my pantry.  A minute before they were done I hit the top of each one with a fork to flatten them somewhat.  Thanks for sharing this great recipe which is one of my favorites!

Your sugar cookie recipes are fantastic! I share them far and wide. I use dark brown sugar in mine, but I've made them with light brown sugar and both were amazing.

I’m not sure what happened as I followed the instructions exactly but these just tasted like melted butter. They had virtually no flavor and my cookies didn’t spread at all. Pretty disappointed after seeing all the good reviews. Ended up being a waste of time and ingredients. 

I can't speak to the lack of flavor - as you mention, the other reviewers didn't have that problem and the flavor should easily be there from the brown sugar - but as for them not spreading enough, I'm guessing something was mis-measured. It's typically the flour. Just a little too much can give that result.

I made this recipe with only 1/2 a cup of butter and they turned out perfect. They didn't need the 3/4 cup butter at all! I also didn't have cornstarch or baking powder, so I subbed the baking powder for extra baking soda and didn't use the cornstarch. I added 1/2 of Pecans, 3 tsp of Pumpkin pie spice, 3 tsp of cinnamon, and 5 smashed whole cloves. If you add the mix-ins I did, the cookies taste like Gingerbread cookies!!!  And FYI I only eat Organic and If you sub all the ingredients for Organic, its better for your body!   If you can reply, I have a question. ???Who eats Organic??? I also cooked my cookies for 10 minutes.

These cookies are delicious and addictive. Multiple people have begged me for the recipe they are so good. Key is not over cooking them and getting that perfect soft chewiness you crave. This recipe will be a staple in our kitchen. Thanks 

My daughter and I tried baking for the first time! They were Great tasting cookies! Although made them smaller than the usual and they are ok.  One question though does the sprinkles really dont stick well with the dough? I noticed the baking time was a little different because some doughs are smaller than the others?  Can I send you how they look like?

Just rating......missed that when I commented.
