I did a bunch of baking today, and of course I had to try each thing I made. My favorite were these melt in your mouth sugar cookies. Not only were they extremely simple & quick to make, but they were SO tasty! The frosting was an added bonus, and only took a second to put together. Make sure you try these- or else!

I found the recipe here: Soft Brown Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:
2/3 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream

Directions:
Blend together butter and brown sugar.  Add eggs, one at a time; blend well.  Add vanilla; beat until light.  In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with sour cream; mix well.  Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto non-stick or lightly greased baking sheets.  Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.  Remove to a wire rack; cool.  Frost with Browned Butter Frosting.  Makes around 2 dozen.

Browned Butter Frosting:
1/4 cup butter
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons Milk

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden.  Watch carefully as this will happen quickly. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and enough milk to make a spreading consistency.
