Brown Sugar Cookies
Brown Sugar CookiesWho doesn’t love cookies? As a kid I can remember absolutely loving cookies, but not homemade cookies, store-bought. I loved going to my friend’s house and eating Fudgee o and Pirate Peanut Butter Cookies.
I used to think she was the luckiest person because her Mom bought cookies! I think it was the time of the 70’s when bought was always better than homemade.Thank goodness now we know better and there is nothing like homemade.
Sorry Mom I really, really do appreciate your amazing Peanut Butter Cookies, not to mention those amazing Whipped Shortbread, and of course I can’t leave out these tasty Brown Sugar Pinwheel Cookies.
I can still remember my Mom making these. They are so easy, whip up the dough which is almost a biscuit type dough.
Spread on the softened butter, sprinkle with a really good amount of brown sugar, roll it up, slice it up, bake until golden and there you have a simple but delicious crunchy, I-can’t-stop-eating-these-Brown-Sugar-Pinwheel-Cookies. Enjoy!

My mother would do this with her left over pie dough. She used cinnamon and sugar. I’m definitely trying this recipe. Hope you’re enjoying your weekend.
RMG says
Yes…I member doing this as a kid. Some things you just don’t forget. I would add raisins to mine and sometimes chopped walnuts. As an adult I generally use T Biscuit dough.

They certainly look yummy! Yesterday hubby made bagels because we were out and it was hot in the kitchen — thank heavens for air-conditioning. I’ll have to make the cookies once we get some cooler weather. This week I have to make the Tiramisu cake for my daughter, as I promised. Those cookies look like sweet rolls — hey I could have them for breakfast. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice weekend!
