We can’t get enough of these delicious homemade brown sugar cookies. What’s Betty’s secret to making them so soft and chewy? This recipe uses brown sugar instead of white sugar, which adds a bit more natural moisture to these cookies, giving them their light and fluffy texture. This brown sugar cookie recipe is simple to mix up and makes enough for about 56 cookies. Take it easy, if you don’t want to make all 56 cookies in one day, freeze half the dough and come back to it another time!
