When real butter and dark brown sugar blend and bake, you get these crisp praline-tasting cookies. Recipe found in Oxmoor House magazine:
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350F
Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add brown sugar, beating well. Add egg and vanilla, beating well.
Combine flour, soda, and salt; add to butter mixture, beating just until blended.
Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two sheets of wax paper. Cut with cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 10-12 minutes. Let cookies cool 1 minute on cookie sheets, and carefully transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
