Directions for Chewy Brown Sugar Cookies
Let’s bake this delightful golden chewy treat!
Preheat and Prep
I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). I line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking for this soft caramel cookies treat.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, I whisk 2 cups flour, ½ tsp baking soda, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp cinnamon (if using) until evenly combined for this cozy recipe.
Blend Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, I whisk ¾ cup melted butter and 1 ¼ cups brown sugar until smooth and glossy. I add 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and 2 tsp vanilla extract, whisking until fully blended for this golden chewy treat.
Combine Wet and Dry
I gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula, mixing until a soft, thick dough forms with no flour streaks. I avoid overmixing to keep this soft caramel cookies treat tender.
Shape Cookies
I scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. I place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets for this cozy recipe to ensure even baking.
Bake and Cool
I bake for 9–11 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but soft. I cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack for this Chewy Brown Sugar Cookies.
