Renaming cookies because... reasons

It was time to head back to the office - yay! Guess what? My kids get to go to in-person learning! Hip hip! Clearly we are excited, all of us. That means I am back in the office around adults a few days a week too! What do I do when I'm around adults? I bake for them. I have been curious about this Butterscotch cookie recipe. When I hear butterscotch, I think about ice cream sundaes, not cookies. Sure I use butterscotch chips in things, but these cookies have no chips in them. I think they are called that because of the brown sugar and heavy whipping cream. I've decided to rename them, Brown Sugar - Sugar Cookies, because while delicious, soft and oh so tasty, they don't seem too butterscotchy to me. Sadly the chocolate chip cookies won hands down in the container at work, but these cookies certainly weren't neglected by any stretch. These are really yummy and easy to make.

Brown Sugar – Sugar Cookies
2 sticks softened butter
1.5 cups brown sugar, packed
1 egg
3 Tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups flour

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
2. Cream together butter and brown sugar
3. Add the egg, heavy cream and vanilla. Beat together for a couple of minutes with a hand held mixer or in a stand mixer.
4. Add the dry ingredients and mix together just until you can no longer see streaks of flour. Don’t overmix.
5. Roll into balls, either 2 or 3 Tablespoon size. Bigger balls will take slightly longer to bake then smaller dough balls.
6. Arrange dough balls on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until the edges start to turn golden color.
7. Remove from oven and enjoy!
