   • Before you start, chill the cookie dough. This helps in shaping the cookies easily.

2. Shape into Balls:

   • Once the dough is chilled, scoop out small portions and roll them into balls. The size can vary depending on your preference, but aim for uniformity for even baking.

3. Coat with Sugar:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a greased cookie sheet.
   • Dip each dough ball into white sugar, ensuring they are fully coated. Then, place them on the prepared cookie sheet, sugar-coated side up.

4. Add Pecans (Optional):

   • For an extra touch of flavor and presentation, you can press a pecan half onto the top of each cookie. This step is optional but highly recommended for a delightful nutty flavor.

5. Bake to Perfection:

   • Pop the cookie sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you want the edges to be lightly golden brown.
   • Remember, if you prefer chewy cookies, lean towards the shorter baking time. For crispier cookies, leave them in a little longer.

6. Enjoy!

   • Once baked to your desired level of crispiness, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
   • Serve these delightful Brown Sugar Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage for a comforting treat any time of the day.

These Brown Sugar Cookies are perfect for sharing with friends and family, or for indulging in a sweet moment of self-care. Enjoy baking, and let the aroma of freshly baked cookies fill your home with warmth and happiness! 🍪✨
