How to Make Brown Sugar Refrigerator Cookies

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