These Brown Sugar Cookies taste like your favorite chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips. These cookies have the perfect crispy edges with a soft and chewy center.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking sheet. Set aside.
Cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Set aside.
Add 1/4 cup sugar to a shallow bowl. Use a cookie scoop to portion out a ball of dough and drop it into the bowl of sugar. Coat each ball of dough with sugar completely.
Bake 10-12 minutes- the edges of the cookies should be just starting to brown. The centers will be soft; do not over-bake. Let stand on cookie sheet 2-3 minutes before removing to cooling rack.
Notes
The yield will depend on the size of your cookie scoop.
