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!
