Name: Brown Cookies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup Brown Sugar; 1 cup White Sugar; 1 cup Butter Or Shortening; 2 whole Eggs; 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract; 2-1/2 cups Flour; 1 teaspoon Baking Soda; 1 teaspoon Salt; 1/4 teaspoons Cloves; 1 teaspoon Cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoons Allspice; 1 cup Quick Oats; 1 Tablespoon Water, If Needed

Servings: persons

1 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup White Sugar
1 cup Butter Or Shortening
2 whole Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2-1/2 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoons Cloves
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoons Allspice
1 cup Quick Oats
1 Tablespoon Water, If Needed

1
Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease a sheet pan.
2
In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream both sugars, butter, eggs, and vanilla together.
3
In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices together.
4
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the sugar/butter mixture, and mix until just combined. Add oats as well. If the cookie dough is a little dry then add a little water. (Most of the time this is not necessary.)
5
Make the cookies into small balls on the sheet pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Don't over bake them! They are done when they are slightly darker on the outside of the cookie and puffy in the center. Cool for 5-10 minutes on the sheet pan, then transfer to a cooling rack. Or skip the cooling and eat them right then.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
