Description
These 3 ingredient brown sugar cookies are chewy, soft, and full of caramel-like flavor. Made with just brown sugar, butter, and flour, they’re the ultimate no-fuss, no-chill cookie recipe—perfect for when you want a sweet treat fast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened or melted)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Optional: 1–2 teaspoons milk if dough is too dry
- Optional add-ins: pinch of cinnamon, vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar and softened butter. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Add flour and mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is crumbly, add a small splash of milk to bring it together.
- Roll into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your palm or a fork.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use dark brown sugar for a richer, deeper flavor and chewier texture.
- Top with sea salt or shape into thumbprint cookies with jam or Nutella for variations.
- Great for quick baking with kids or last-minute dessert cravings.
