Equipment

- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour measured properly
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and dark brown sugar using a spoon until the mixture becomes light and creamy.
- Add the flour and stir until the dough comes together. It may look crumbly at first but will smooth out with mixing.
- Form dough into small balls about 2 inches wide and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently flatten the tops of each dough ball using your fingers or the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
- Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Optional: Top with flaky salt before baking, or dip half the cookie in melted chocolate after cooling.
