Ingredients

  • 1 c. butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 c. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 3 1/2 c. flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. soda
  • 1 tsp. cream of tartar

Instructions

  2. Sift together the flour, salt, soda, and cream of tartar.
  3. Mix dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until well combined.
  4. Shape the dough into rolls and chill before slicing and baking.

Tips & Substitutions

For best results, ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with the sugars. If you prefer a softer cookie, reduce the baking time slightly. You can substitute half of the brown sugar with granulated sugar for a less intense sweetness. For a nutty flavor, consider adding chopped pecans or walnuts to the dough.

Serving Suggestions

These brown sugar filled cookies are delightful on their own but can also be served with a scoop of Mama'S Delicious Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream for an indulgent treat. Pair them with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a comforting afternoon snack. They also make a sweet addition to holiday dessert platters alongside other favorites.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag, where they can last for up to three months. To reheat, simply warm in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of sugar?

Yes, you can substitute some of the brown sugar with granulated sugar if you want a milder sweetness. However, using all brown sugar will give you a richer flavor and a chewier texture, which is ideal for these cookies.

How do I know when the cookies are done baking?

The cookies are done when the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will continue to firm up as they cool, giving you a perfect chewy texture. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft.

Can I add chocolate chips to this recipe?

Absolutely! Adding chocolate chips will elevate the flavor of these cookies. You can mix in about a cup of semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips to the dough before chilling, making them even more irresistible.
