Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure it's at room temperature.
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter and packed brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, starting on low speed. Once incorporated, increase the speed until a dough forms.
  4. Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, form the dough into small balls (around 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Substitutions: You can use margarine as a substitute for unsalted butter (ensure it's Halal-friendly). Avoid overmixing once the flour is added to prevent tough cookies. Ensure butter is softened but not melted.
