The ratio of light brown sugar and granulated sugar in this recipe gives the cookies the perfect texture! The brown sugar creates a chewy and gooey cookie, while the granulated sugar gives these cookies their crispy edges! Make sure to not overbake these cookies!

This recipe only requires 30 minutes of chilling time! Allowing the cookie dough to chill for half hour allows the butter to solidify ensuring that the cookies do not spread too much in the oven! Also, chilling the cookie dough deepens the flavor of the cookies! Trust me, its worth the wait! If needed, you can chill the cookie dough overnight or up to 48 hours. This makes this recipe the perfect make ahead dessert for spring and summer parties!
