Iced Brown Sugar Cookies image

I received this recipe for brown sugar cookies some 40 years ago at a shower where the hostess asked each guest to share a favorite recipe. This was the most popular of them all. Dark brown sugar gives these cookies added richness.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out burnt. I think I'll try baking them at a lower temperature next time.

I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cookies were still delicious.

These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try adding an extra egg next time.

I'm not a fan of the brown sugar flavor in these cookies. I think I'll try making them with white sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies came out flat and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a big fan of iced cookies, but these ones are really good. The icing is the perfect sweetness and it doesn't overpower the cookie.
