Brown sugar cookies

Brown Sugar Cookies a delicious alternative to regular Sugar Cookies, these are fast, easy and so good. Made with only 6 ingredients made and baked in 20 minutes.  

When I first moved to Italy, I missed everything from my homeland, Canada.  I missed my family, friends, my Mom’s Cooking and of course Her Baking, my job, my busy, busy city and oh let’s not forget the malls!

Looking back now I wonder how the heck I did it. Needless to say, it was all worth it, I have a good husband and 2 amazing and  beautiful daughters. But those first few years were so difficult (who am I kidding probably the first 20 years!).  

To tell the truth, it’s still very hard sometimes, especially with my eldest daughter who has moved to Canada.  And how wonderful that I am here now visiting with her.

If it wasn’t for visits from family and friends, I’m sure it would have been unbearable.  I was always so elated to hear we were going to have visitors and even more elated when I heard those magic words “would you like us to bring something for you from Canada?”

Would I?  I thought you would never ask, and if they didn’t ask, I wouldn’t  hesitate to request a goody-bag.

Brown Sugar Cookies

One of my top requests was always brown sugar. Brown sugar isn’t available there, there’s only cane sugar.

And then when I learned that I could make my own brown sugar with molasses, oh that was a happy day for me.

By the way, molasses isn’t available there either, but it fits better in a suitcase and it lasts longer.  And yes it is on my list.

The reason brown sugar was always on the top of my list was because I love to make these Easy Brown Sugar Cookies.  A dear friend of mine sent me this recipe the first year I got married.

They’re so delicious and they’re even better since I started to drizzle some semi-sweet chocolate over them.  So I hope these brown sugar cookies bring you a little bit of the comfort and good feelings that they brought me.  Enjoy!
