How to Make Brown Sugar Drops

  1. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
  6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls, or drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
