Thick and Chewy Brown Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have a soft spot for chocolate chip cookies–they just never get old. These “Thick and Chewy Brown Sugar Cookies” are a spin on the classic favorite, with a deeper, richer flavor, and chewier texture. These barely lasted 24 hours in our house!

Chewy Brown Sugar Cookies

I was inspired to make these brown sugar cookies when I saw the new Domino® Pourable Light Brown Sugar!  The nifty canister has a re-closeable flip top lid, which is super handy and so much neater than trying to close a bag of regular brown sugar. Am I the only one who manages to get sugar all over everything when opening or closing one of those bags?? Wait, don’t answer that. Another thing I loved about using this pourable brown sugar is that it doesn’t dry out or get clumps in it. The sugar crystals are granulated and it measures just like regular sugar. No need to pack it tightly into your measuring cup. Just pour!

Domino® Sugar also has Quick Dissolve Superfine Sugar available in the same new canister. It dissolves quickly in hot or cold drinks, which is so nice! You may just end up leaving these on the counter to quickly grab and sprinkle on your oatmeal or to sweeten your iced tea. The containers really are handy, and I love anything that means less of a mess in my kitchen! Thick and Chewy Brown Sugar Cookies

Now, back to the cookies. I divided the dough into two batches. The first batch, I baked plain–no chocolate chips. As much as I love chocolate, I really wanted to leave some plain to fully appreciate and enjoy the rich caramel-y brown sugar goodness. I was pleasantly surprised when my kids were requesting the plain ones! The flavor is so good, you really don’t miss the chocolate! Though, I will say, a chewy brown sugar cookie that’s fresh from the oven and loaded with melty chocolate chips, is not something you want to pass up. So maybe do what I did and bake them half plain and half with chocolate chips. You can’t go wrong either way!

    When I make my Mom’s delicious sour cream coffeecake, I combine brown sugar with chopped walnuts or pecans. Half the batter goes into the tube pan with a layer of the brown sugar and nuts on top. Then the rest of the batter goes in. A thick layer of brown sugar and nuts goes on top. Then I take a table knife and swirl it through the cake. It makes a delicious gooey marble ribbon through the cake with a crunchy coating on top. YUM!!!

    We used to have HUGE squash in the garden when I was a young kid. .Mom would cut it into 5×6in. Pieces , cut criss-crosses.
    Then Add butter, & “Brown sugar ” a sprinle of S&P and bake em in the oven till they were soft and bubbly brown. And wow what a side dish. We all loved it, still do ! ♡ love the cookie recipes! Thanks for sharing.

    I like using brown sugar in DIY body scrubs. I mix with honey, lemon juice and olive oil for a nice body scrub on my elbows, knees and feet, brown sugar exfoliates the skin. 🙂

    I always use light brown sugar when making Moravian Sugar Cake – an Easter favorite in this area and at my house. For the diabetics I use the brown sugar splenda blend instead. It is always a big hit!!!

    Stephanie,
    These cookies look so delicious, I’d love to know how to make them! Could you share the recipe please?

    My favorite way to use brown sugar is with sour cream and strawberries, dunking the berries first into sour cream and then into a dish of brown sugar.

    Thanks!

    I use brown sugar, butter and vanilla to make the most awesome sauce for Bananas Foster! And when peaches are in season, I substitute fresh, sliced peaches for the bananas. Serve it over ice cream and sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans on top! Yum!
