Recipe: Caramelized Brown Sugar Cookies

These are the easiest cookies I’ve ever made, and yet the most addictive – a dangerous combination. With a super simple ingredient list, the magic happens when you coat the dough balls in a lot of brown sugar so they caramelize underneath and get this amazing rich crunchy flavor.

Ingredients

• 7 ounces of butter, melted
• 2 cups of light brown sugar
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees.
2. Mix the butter, 1.5 cups of sugar and salt in a bowl. Slowly add the egg and the vanilla, mixing thoroughly.
3. Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder and mix until smooth.
4. Fill a small bowl with the remaining brown sugar. Take golf ball sized scoops of the dough, and with your hands form them into a sphere.
5. Coat the dough balls with a generous amount of brown sugar, then place on a lined baking sheet.
6. Put the cookies in the oven and bake until the tops are cracked and the edges are caramel colored (about 10-12 minutes). For best results rotate the cookies half way through baking. Cool and enjoy!
