A high quality sugar makes all the difference in these mouthwatering Chewy Brown Sugar Cookies. They are the perfect sweet treat for any occasion.
I’m not gonna lie. These cookies were amazing.
Once you’re done making the dough, you roll the the dough balls in the powdered sugar to give the cookies that finished crackle look.
There’s one additional feature to this cookie that makes it taste amazing. I brown the butter. You know I’ve been a total brown butter addict lately and taking that extra step with the butter in this recipe completely enhances the flavor and texture of the cookie.
You see those deep crevasses of cookie goodness surrounded by a delicious surface of sweet powdered sugar? That’s when you’ll hear me say “ooooh yeah”.
My sister and her family were just visiting for Thanksgiving and she got to sample every single one of my Christmas cookies before she took some home for herself. Can you guess which cookies were her favorite?

Could not get dough to roll. Way too crumbly
Oh no! I wonder what happened? These are some of my favorite cookies.
