Brown Sugar Shortbread Cookies

Brown Sugar Shortbread Cookies

Some of the best holiday traditions start with a simple recipe. Made with buttery brown sugar dough and finished with a delicate sugar crunch, these shortbread cookies are rich, crumbly, and perfect for sharing. Whether you're filling a holiday cookie tin or enjoying one with your afternoon coffee, they're a little treat worth making again and again.

Prep: 30 min | Chill: 4 hours | Bake: 14–16 min | Makes: 24 cookies

Ingredients:
  • 170 g (¾ cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 200 g (1 cup packed) light or dark brown sugar
  • 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 281 g (2¼ cups) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 100 g (½ cup) coarse sugar, for coating
Directions:

  1. Cream the butter and sugar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla and mix until combined.

     

     

  2. Prepare the dough. Add the flour and salt, mixing on low speed until incorporated. Continue mixing until the dough begins to come together. If it remains crumbly, gently press it together with your hands, adding a few drops of water if necessary.

     

  3. Shape the cookies. Divide the dough into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, shape each portion into a log approximately 20 cm (8 inches) long.

     

  4. Add the sugar coating. Spread the coarse sugar onto a plate and roll each log through it, pressing gently to coat the outside evenly.

     

  5. Chill the dough. Wrap the logs tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm.

     

  6. Slice and bake. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Slice each chilled log into 12 equal rounds and arrange them approximately 5 cm (2 inches) apart. Bake for 14–16 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.

     

  7. Cool and enjoy. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
