How to Make Brown Sugar Drops Cookies
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened shortening, 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- Stir in ½ cup sour milk or buttermilk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).
- Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto lightly greased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft. A gentle touch with your finger should leave a slight imprint.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy approximately 6 dozen 2 ½-inch cookies!
