Ingredients
Scale
All-Purpose Flour
- 2 1/2 cups
Brown Sugar
- 1 cup, packed
Butter
- 1 cup, softened
Eggs
- 1 large
Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon
Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
Sugar
- For sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients and measuring them out. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Gradually incorporate the flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
- Roll Out the Dough: Divide the dough in half and roll each portion out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into rectangles or your desired shape for the cookies.
- Assemble the Cookies: Place half of the cutouts on the prepared baking sheet. Add your desired filling, leaving a border around the edges. Top with the remaining cutouts and press the edges to seal.
- Bake: Sprinkle the tops with sugar for added sweetness and crunch, then bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool before serving.
Notes
- Chill the Dough: For easier handling, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined to ensure your cookies remain tender and not tough.
- Use Parchment Paper: Lining your baking sheet with parchment makes for easy removal and cleanup.
- Experiment with Fillings: Don’t be afraid to try different fillings to find your favorite combination.
- Watch the Bake Time: Keep an eye on your cookies as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
