I can always make these easy little cookies with the ingredients in my pantry. They're rich, crisp, and so simple to make.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter (NO substitutes), softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups flour

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. In large bowl, beat butter until fluffy. Add brown sugar and mix well. Then add flour and mix just until a dough forms. Divide dough into 2 balls and pat each into a 1/2" thick 7" round on an ungreased cookie sheet. Prick each with fork. Bake at 300 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove to wire rack to cool. Cut each round into eight wedges to serve. 16 cookies

Impressive, Guest Matti

I'm impressed. These turned out very well. I started to transfer them whole, and one started crumbling. I left them on the baking sheet for about 5"", then used a pizza cutter to make the wedges. After that, they were easy to transfer to a rack. They are still cooling, but I gobbled some of the crumbly bits. Excellent.
