Soft-Bake Brown Sugar Cookies

Better than just plain sugar cookies!

What You'll Need:

For the cookies:

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, soft

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 cup sour cream

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

For the frosting:

1/4 cup (half a stick) butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tbsp milk

1 cup powdered sugar

How to Make It:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and the sour cream. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture and mix well. Drop by spoonfuls 2 inches apart on greased or sprayed baking sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the cookies to wire racks to cool. For the frosting, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat; add the brown sugar. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Gradually add the milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the powdered sugar to combine completely. Cool about 15 minutes, and frost the cooled cookies. This recipe makes about 2 dozen cookies.
