Cookie Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar light or dark
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and butter. Mix these ingredients until the mixture is smooth.
