I am a sucker for brown sugar, I mean a big sucker. Anytime I am putting it in or on something you will see me eating chunks of it plain. Yes I do. I learned that from my mom who also loves brown sugar. So when I saw a recipe for Brown Sugar Cookies you know I had to try it out. I was like yes, yes and yes! I still have not made these for my mom and I have to because she would love them. Since she gave up eating chocolate I am always on the look out for chocolate free cookies to make for her!

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

We absolutely loved these cookies. I took some over to my sister and brother-in-laws when we went for dinner one night and my brother-in-law is still talking about these cookies! If you love brown sugar then you will love these cookies. I think I’ve talked myself into making some more this week, for my mom of course! Tell me, what is your favorite cookie? And do you love brown sugar as much as I do?

I, too, love brown sugar, but have never eaten it raw – always cooked. And I will definitely try these cookies. They look scrumptious. Pinning!
I hope you enjoy them!

I had to pin these. I also eat plain brown sugar if I’m cooking with it. I thought I was the only one. My hubby looks at me sideways every time I do it!
My hubby does the same to me haha! I just love it plain!
