Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup optional: chopped nuts or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
If desired, fold in chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft, which is perfect for a chewy texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Brown Sugar Drops with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
