Everyone has a favorite baking ingredient. A dash of that special ingredient makes it way into everything you bake and in your mind, always makes it taste better.

For me, that ingredient is brown sugar ( for Brown Sugar Cookies recipe ).
Dark brown sugar to be exact.

These brown sugar cookies pack quite the brown sugar punch. I absolutely love these cookies! With almost 2 cups of brown sugar in the batter, they are delicious and remind me of Christmas (which makes sense since I love Molasses cookies around the holidays and brown sugar is refined white sugar with molasses added.)

Notes

These are so good, and so addicting. They stay nice and fluffy during baking and don't spread much. The cookie is crispy on bottom yet so soft inside.

A little lemon zest? Pinch of salt? Squirt of agave nectar?
