How to Make Brown Sugar Refrigerator Cookies
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chopped nuts (optional).
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch thick logs. Slice the logs into 1/4-inch thick cookies.
- Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
