These cookies feature our Smoked Brown Sugar and they are addictive! Mildly reminiscent of a s’more but also a sugar cookie laced with toffee – we think they are a hit. Some think the smoky flavor adds just a hint of bacon – what could be better bacon in a cookie?? It is a complex flavor that always pleases.
We use these as samples at our farmers markets locally and while most people have heard of a sugar cookie – most have NOT heard of a brown sugar cookie – much less a smoked brown sugar cookie.
Oh Yea – they are also super simple to make too. If you have two large cookie sheets you can put a dozen on each and be done baking in about 15 minutes! (A double batch makes scads of cookies for a crowd too.)
Smoked Brown Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter – room temperature
- ¾ cup Signature Smoked Brown Sugar
- ½ cup regular brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
- With an electric mixer, beat together butter and both sugars for 5 minutes.
- To the sugar and butter mixture, add in the egg and vanilla. Mix for one additional minute.
- Mix in the flour mixture until uniformly combined.
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to shape small balls about 2 tablespoons each. Arrange 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet (do not press down or shape the cookies).
- Bake 8 minutes, or until the edges are just slightly gold. To preserve the chewy yumminess of this cookie do not bake too long (if you think they look just a bit under-done in the middle – then they are just right)!
- Let cool on pan 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

These cookies might become slightly crisp initially, but will become soft and chewy once again if stored in an airtight container. These cookies are amazing dipped in a hot cup of coffee!
