You may have made sugar cookies for the holidays, but have you ever tried Brown Sugar Cookies? I think I might like these ones better!
They are soft and chewy and bursting with rich and sweet flavour. Plus, they are really easy to make and only take about 9 minutes to bake. I made a bunch and froze some of them to enjoy over Christmas.

I added a brown sugar glaze made with powdered sugar, brown sugar and milk. It gives them a nice glossy finish and adds a little extra sweetness to each bite.
Once you try them, they may become a favourite of yours too!

I just made these using a 1 to 1 gluten free flour (I used Krusteaz). I didn’t have pecans, but even without they turned out very tasty. The glaze is a must add as it adds just the right amount of sweetness. I made my own allspice, so it ended up being a little heavy on the clove taste. I know next time to half the amount of clove and these should be perfect! While I made this in January and am enjoying them, I feel this would be the perfect fall cookie! Really similar to a ginger bread or molasses cookie. A nice change from all the “usual” holiday cookies.
