1/4 cup
brown sugar, packed
-

1/2 cup
butter, softened

egg
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars with a mixer or spatula until fluffy.
-
Add egg, mix, and gently fold in flour mixture. Do not overbeat!

Drop onto a greased cookie sheet and bake 10 to 15 minutes. Cookies should be a little golden around the edges, but still look slightly underdone in the center.

Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Remove and place on wire rack to cool completely. Eat alone or sandwich ice cream between two cookies for a delicious ice cream sandwich!
