Soft Brown Sugar Cookies with Browned Butter Frosting

Yes, I’m still here.  Life has been very outlandish lately.  I am down here in bright, sunny Miami once again!  Mr. Wishes has been summoned down here again for work and I am definitely enjoying the temporary relocation!  The only negative aspect of living down here is not having free reign to internet anytime that I want.  So thank you for your patience as I have been a major blog slacker lately.

 Trust me when I say that this recipe was worth your wait.  Do you want to make the softest cookies in the world?  Well look no further – I have here a recipe for brown sugar cookies topped with delicious browned butter frosting that will blow your socks off.  I definitely think the sour cream is the trick to the softness of these cookies.  They have a very cake-like texture that closely resemble the softness of the pumpkin butterscotch cookies I made last fall, which I loved!

Do yourself a favor and make these for your family…or your friends…or just make them for someone.  I could seriously eat the entire batch by myself.

Soft Brown Sugar Cookies with Browned Butter Frosting…I’m sure of these are the key to a happy life.  And cheers to you for following along with this old blog, despite my severe slacking.
