Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat until it becomes smooth and fully melted.
- Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir well to combine. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix thoroughly after each addition.
- Add the remaining ingredients, which include the flour, baking powder, vanilla, and salt. Stir until everything is well mixed and you have a thick, consistent dough.
- Prepare your pan by greasing and flouring an 8×8-inch baking dish. Then, evenly spread the cookie dough into the prepared pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 to 25 minutes. Check the center with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cookies are done.
- Let cool before slicing into squares or bars to serve. Enjoy these delicious cookies with your friends and family!
