Brown Sugar Cookies with Dulce de Leche

This brown sugar cookie is lightly crisp on the outside, and softer towards the center. Instead of a frosting, thin layer of dulce de leche boosts the caramel flavor, and makes the perfect iced surface for some finishing flair (in the form of festive sprinkles).

Butterscotch Crinkles

Truly one of my favorite cookies: soft and supremely chewy with perfect butterscotch flavor. Best of all, this super easy drop cookie is made with just a few ingredients that you probably already have in the pantry!
